SES-1032206PI: Beverly J. SilverCo-PI: Benjamin ScullyInstitution: Johns Hopkins UniversityThis study examines how the decline of formal wage labor affected the livelihood strategies of South African workers. The researchers evaluate the hypothesis that formal wage labor's decline has led South Africans to increasingly rely on historically important livelihood strategies that involve sharing and cooperation across the divides of employed-unemployed, formal-informal, and rural-urban. Data will be gathered through existing household surveys as well as original ethnographic research on the livelihood strategies of selected South African households. Broader Impacts:The findings will contribute to debates about labor market and welfare policy in South Africa and other middle-income countries by highlighting livelihood strategies that are shared across the employed-unemployed divide. These strategies may be the basis for social welfare policy that could benefit and enjoy political support from a broad cross-section of workers.

SES-1032206 PI：贝弗利J西尔弗合作PI：本杰明斯卡利机构：约翰霍普金斯大学这项研究探讨了如何正式工资劳动力的下降影响了南非工人的生计战略。研究人员评估了这一假设，即正式雇佣劳动的下降导致南非人越来越依赖于历史上重要的生计战略，这些战略涉及就业-失业，正式-非正式和农村-城市之间的分享与合作。将通过现有的家庭调查以及对选定的南非家庭的生计战略进行的原始人种学研究来收集数据。 更广泛的影响：调查结果将有助于南非和其他中等收入国家关于劳动力市场和福利政策的辩论，突出就业-失业鸿沟之间共享的生计战略。这些战略可以作为社会福利政策的基础，使广大工人受益并得到他们的政治支持。
