Transforming the Distributional Regime --Notes --References --IndexThe distribution of incomes in South Africa in 2004, ten years after the transition to democracy, was probably more unequal than it had been under apartheid. In this book, Jeremy Seekings and Nicoli Nattrass explain why this is so, offering a detailed and comprehensive analysis of inequality in South Africa from the mid-twentieth century to the early twenty-first century. They show that the basis of inequality shifted in the last decades of the twentieth century from race to class. Formal deracialization of public policy did not reduce the actual disadvantages experienced by the poor nor the advantages of the rich. The fundamental continuity in patterns of advantage and disadvantage resulted from underlying continuities in public policy, or what Seekings and Nattrass call the "distributional regime." The post-apartheid distributional regime continues to divide South Africans into insiders and outsiders. The insiders, now increasingly multiracial, enjoy good access to well-paid, skilled jobs; the outsiders lack skills and employment.Income distributionSouth AfricaApartheidEconomic aspectsSouth AfricaSocial classesSouth AfricaLabor marketSouth AfricaEducation and stateSouth AfricaIncome distributionApartheidEconomic aspectsSocial classesLabor marketEducation and state306.3/0968Seekings Jeremy662629Nattrass Nicoli126370MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910806907603321Class, race, and inequality in South Africa1377059UNINA
