abstract: 'There has been very little detailed exploration of the relationship
between wage income and household inequality in South Africa despite the
relevance of this issue for many contemporary growth and development
policy debates. This article is directed at such an analysis. It uses a
decomposition of household income inequality by income components to
highlight the dominance of wage income in driving overall income
inequality. This is followed by a derailed discussion of the
distribution of the unemployed across different wage-earning household
categories. Many of the unemployed are seen to depend on wage earners
within their households, but a significant percentage of the unemployed,
especially in rural areas, have no direct link to labor market earners.
In such cases, the creation of employment is essential. The conclusion
explores policy implications by linking our empirical findings to South
African debates over the quality versus the quantity of employment. (JEL
