The labour market consequences of restructuring state-owned enterprises : the case of South Africa

There are ongoing debates on the topic of restructuring. More so in South Africa (especially in terms of welfare consequences that are likely to arise) when its government undertook the difficult task of restructuring State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). There is however a general lack of information and data on the labour dynamics of restructuring SOEs to inform that debate. This paper tries to fill that gap by looking at (Labour Force Survey) LFS data as well as extensive data provided by one of the SOEs - namely Eskom.
