About this document

Living Not Just Surviving The Politics of Refusing Low-Wage Jobs in Urban South Africa by lindokuhlegladile20 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper examines the reasons why young Black South African men refuse low-wage jobs amidst high unemployment rates, drawing on qualitative research from an informal settlement in Johannesburg. It argues that their refusal is a form of worker resistance tied to aspirations for dignity and inclusion, rather than mere laziness or choosiness. The study highlights the historical context of wage labor in South Africa and its implications for understanding labor market dynamics and social inequality.
