abstract: 'Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) was conceived as a
structural intervention to fundamentally reorganise the South African
economy and address persistent economic inequalities. South Africa has
the world''s highest income inequality, and this is reflected by vast
inequalities in salaries and wages both between high and low earners,
but importantly between different race and gender groups. Despite a
plethora of legislation aimed at addressing inequality in ownership
(such as B-BBEE) and in the workplace (employment equity legislation),
women and Black workers in South Africa continue to be paid less than
men and white employees, even when doing the same work (the pay gap),
and are more likely to work in precarious, low-paid jobs (occupational
segregation). These factors are driven by differences in the
characteristics of workers, and by structural discrimination in the
economy. Conceptually, we can decompose structural discrimination into
two forms - that which discriminates against people who do the same job,
based on race and gender (the pay gap) - and that which discriminates
indirectly by occupational segregation - blacks and women concentrated
in low paying occupations. In this paper, we ask whether B-BBEE - while
not explicitly a labour market intervention - has had any positive
impact in reducing labour market inequalities. We review the literature
on occupational segregation and the gender and race pay gaps in
post-apartheid South Africa, and examine the various policy
interventions, with a particular focus on B-BBEE, that have attempted to
address this enduring problem.'
