The Evolution of the Racial Wage Hierarchy in Post-Apartheid South Africa
开发了一种多边分解方法分析工资差异，并应用于1993-2001年南非种族工资等级的变化，发现非洲裔工人的相对工资在1994年民主转型后有所改善，但随后被侵蚀。
This article develops a multilateral decomposition procedure for the analysis of wage differentials and applies this to the evolution of the racial wage hierarchy in South Africa over the period 1993–2001. We find evidence that the wage position of the majority African workforce improved relative to all other racial groups immediately following the transition to democratic rule in 1994, but that these gains have been largely eroded in the ensuing years of the post-apartheid era. We review the range of policy initiatives that have been taken by the government since 1994 in the light of our empirical findings.
