Abstract: South Africa is a country with exceptionally high rates of unemployment, much of which is experienced as a chronic state. At the same time, a subset of the population repeatedly transitions into and out of work, thus experiencing unemployment more as a transient than as a chronic state. Of the available data sources at present in South Africa, only a few have the longitudinal structure required to investigate the rates at which people find and lose employment.
