Abstract
Unquestionably, poverty and inequality are among the major challenges that face South Africa today. In this well-researched, comprehensive volume, the authors: • use new techniques to measure and analyse household inequality and poverty in South Africa; • analyse the nature and functioning of vulnerability in the labour market; • explore the links between labour market participation and household poverty and inequality; • investigate current social and labour market policies; and • examine the implications of current anti-poverty policies and strategies. An exciting aspect of this ground-breaking work is the proposals for the development of new and effective strategies to fight poverty in South Africa.
