+abstract: 'The concepts social fabric and social cohesion refer to complex and
+
+  interdependent systems that exist in a community. Social cohesion
+
+  includes aspects such as the level of respect people have for each
+
+  other, people''s experiences of belonging, identification with the
+
+  community, identity, their experiences of social justice, and
+
+  participation. Social cohesion is further evident in the extent that
+
+  people are accepting each other, taking responsibility for themselves
+
+  and others and providing safety and security.
+
+  South Africa''s political and racially-based history and the current high
+
+  poverty and inequality do not provide a conducive context for a cohesive
+
+  society. This is evident in the high prevalence of poverty,
+
+  unemployment, crime, substance dependency and the neglect and abuse of
+
+  women and children. Facilitating a socially cohesive society is high on
+
+  the agenda of the current government, but the current policy frameworks
+
+  and institutional structures cannot create a socially cohesive society.
+
+  Failing to create a socially cohesive South African society is evident
+
+  in the more than 50 000 day labourers who are standing on the street
+
+  corners of our cities and towns daily, with the hope to access a job and
+
+  an income for the day.
+
+  Day labourers are unemployed people, mostly men, making a living by
+
+  selling their labour and skills on the street corners of South African
+
+  cities and towns. The growing number of day labourers who make a living
+
+  in the informal economy is a clear indication that South Africa cannot
+
+  absorb the unemployed in the formal economy. In particular, South Africa
+
+  is unable to accommodate the low-skilled and uneducated labourers in the
+
+  formal labour market. To make a living and survive in the informal
+
+  economy imply an insecure existence.
+
+  The aim of the article is to describe the socio-economic profile of the
+
+  3 830 day labourers interviewed during the first national study in South
+
+  Africa as a case study that illustrates the vulnerability of the social
+
+  cohesion and social fabric of poor families and communities surviving in
+
+  the informal economy. The national study was implemented in two phases.
+
+  The first phase lasted approximately two years, which were spent
+
+  travelling throughout South Africa to determine on which street corners
+
+  and open spaces the day labourers are standing in the cities and towns
+
+  of South Africa. This reconnaissance phase of the study resulted in the
+
+  estimation that there are at least 50 000 day labourers occupying street
+
+  corners of South African towns and cities daily. The second, or
+
+  fieldwork, phase of the research consisted of the completion of 3 830
+
+  interviews with day labourers throughout South Africa during 2007 and
+
+  2008. In this phase, the authors developed the survey instrument,
+
+  recruited field workers, provided appropriate training and tested the
+
+  questionnaire. This was followed by the sampling, where a combination of
+
+  cluster and snowball sampling was used to proportionally represent the
+
+  research population. A representative sample of approximately 9\%
+
+  enabled meaningful statistical analysis. All ethical principles were
+
+  adhered to. The questionnaires were completed with the assistance of
+
+  well-trained fieldworkers who were fluent in the languages spoken by the
+
+  day labourers.
+
+  The results of the study show that, given the high unemployment rate and
+
+  slow economic growth in South Africa, the informal economy and day
+
+  labouring are here to stay and should be supported with relevant
+
+  facilitating policies and institutions/structures. Day labouring is
+
+  furthermore a survivalist strategy and it implies an irregular income.
+
+  It became clear that the day labourers in general have very low
+
+  education and skills levels and will not be able to access formal labour
+
+  in the current economic climate.
+
+  Day labourers are the result of a vulnerable socially exclusive society.
+
+  It will remain in an increasingly vulnerable exclusive society if not
+
+  addressed through the implementation of policies and practices that will
+
+  enhance social cohesion and strengthen the social fabric of the South
+
+  African society.'
