Abstract: Labour market analysis in the South African context provides a relatively robust understanding of the individual characteristics that influence wage differentials across workers (i.e. supply-side characteristics), but provides relatively little insight into the firm-level characteristics influencing these differentials (i.e. demand-side characteristics). This is largely due to the relative paucity of firm-level data in South Africa.
