71point4

The Employment Equity Act require all designated employers to submit an employment equity report to the Department of Labour annually using the EEA2 form.  As per regulation 10(11) of the Act, the EEA2 is a public document that can be made available on request.  The dataset includes up-to-date employment data, broken down by sector, level of skill, gender and population group.  The Department of Labour’s Employment Equity data is a rich source of data that could enable researchers and journalists to explore labour market trends and employment equity at a firm level.  71point4, a strategic research consultancy, have instituted application proceedings in the High Court against the Department of Labour seeking access to the EEA2 documents as per PAIA.  In addition, 71point4 plans to analyse and disseminate the data.

Institute for Poverty Land and Agrarian Studies

The core research question of this project by PLAAS is to understand who is benefiting from South Africa’s land redistribution programme. The project aims to work with rural activists and organized rural formations to explore this issue, and if elite capture is indeed taking place, to assess how this affects the outcomes of what was originally conceived of as a “pro-poor” land redistribution programme. The research findings will be published in different formats and the implications for policy will be explored, as well as for advocacy towards pro-poor shifts in land reform policy and practice.
