The state of the labour market in contemporary South Africa

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The state of the labour market in South African today is a reflection of the crippling legacies of the apartheid years and, as such, is a major challenge confronting the government. Wherever one looks in the workplace that sector's HRD is characterised by racial inequalities. There are pockets of progress, but this progress has been miniscule in relation to the magnitude of the inequities inherited from the apartheid era.
