Summary
A recent paper applied labour market theory to South Africa, formulating a model of racial dualism. Cassim postulates
a white sector and a black sector which are the results of an historical process of segmentation of the labour market, in which the distribution of individual jobs and incomes has become dominated by the superficial characteristic of race.
The racial dualism of the South African labour market is illustrated, he argues, by an examination of the occupational distribution of different race groups.
