abstract: 'In the early part of the post-apartheid period in South Africa, a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`feminisation of the labour force'' coincided with an increasing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
concentration of women in unemployment as well as in informal and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-paid work. In other words, and as observed at the time, an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improvement in female labour participation did not seem to `buy'' much
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for South African women. Accordingly, the overrepresentation of women in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informal employment has been identified as a key source of gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in the labour market. However, a source of gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantage that has received considerably less attention is the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gendered structure of earnings and occupations within the informal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economy. In this paper, we examine sources of gender inequality within
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the South African informal economy through an analysis of a recent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour force survey and by drawing on a multi-dimensional approach to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understanding risks to income security.'
