Affirming women in the South African public service a study of provincial government 2000 - 2007

Since 1994 a strong legal and policy framework has been in place to ensure that women are adequately represented and treated as equals to their male counterparts. Affirmative action is the official programme used by the government to ensure that, among other things, women are fast tracked into the public service. This thesis examines the extent to which women are represented in provincial government and the possible barriers, if any, confronting them in their career advancement. A mixed-method approach incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data is used in this study.
