abstract: 'We began with the premise that South African recent migrants from rural
to urban areas experience relatively lower rates of participation in
formal labour markets compared to local residents in urban communities,
and that these migrants are overrepresented in the informal labour
market and in the unemployment sector. This means that rural to urban
migrants are less likely than locals to be found in formal employment
and more likely to be found in informal employment and among the
unemployed. Using perspectives from Development Economics we explore the
South African National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) panel datasets of
2008 and 2010, which only provide a perspective on what has happened
between 2008 and 2010. We find that while migrants in general experience
positive outcomes in informal labour markets, they also experience
positive outcomes in formal markets, which is contrary to expectations.
We also find that there are strong links between other indicators of
performance in the labour market. Earned incomes are closely associated
with migration decisions and educational qualifications (e.g. a matric
certificate) for respondents between the ages of 30 and 60 years. The
youth (15 to 30 years old) and senior respondents (over the age of 60)
are the most disadvantaged in the labour market. The disadvantage is
further reflected in lower earned incomes. This is the case even though
the youth are most likely to migrate. We conclude that migration is
motivated by both push (to seek employment) and pull (existing networks
or marriage at destination) factors. For public policy, the emerging
patterns - indicative and established - are important for informing
strategies aimed at creating employment and developing skills for the
unemployed, migrants and especially the youth. Similar policy strategies
are embodied in the National Development Plan (NDP), the National Skills
Development Strategy (NSDS), etc.'
