A perspective of South African unemployment

Author

Listed:
  • Olivier Basdevant

Abstract

Based on stylized facts on South Africa, this article provides a simple theoretical framework to analyze the relations between reducing working time, unemployment, education and growth. It is flexible enough to provide some main macro-economic implications of work sharing, especially in terms of education and growth.
