A chapter in Wage Inequality in Africa, 2017, pp 1-5 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The studies presented in this book all deal with wage inequality in various African nations. Each addresses a different, but related, aspect of wage inequality. All have something to say about race and/or gender aspects of wage inequality. Each chapter included in this volume is an original empirical research study which attempts to measure and explain sources of wage inequality in the country or countries studied. To conduct such studies, it is necessary to have large national representative samples of households and workers. In each case the authors have used, and in some cases constructed, data sets that meet these requirements.
