dc.description.abstractThis paper investigates the relationship between labour productivity, average real wages and employment in South Africa's manufacturing sector, using cointegrating VAR and VECM econometric techniques. A long-run equilibrium relationship was found between real wages and productivity, with an elasticity of 0,38 indicating that productivity has grown more rapidly than wages.en_ZA
