摘要

在全球工作场所重组的背景下,种族隔离后的南非失业率居高不下,就业保障恶化,收入改善有限。本文调查了南非劳动力市场劳动密集型生产性质的变化,以及与不稳定或非标准就业形式相关的风险的性别个性化。文章通过对南非制造业工人的不稳定经历进行性别政治经济学分析,扩展了关于新自由主义下劳工挑战的批判性理论叙事。通过关注性别与政治经济之间的相互联系,本文将有关劳动力危机的问题与对技能的狭隘关注脱钩,并重新集中我们对劳动力市场脆弱性的结构性决定因素的理解。文章认为,种族隔离后劳动力市场中非正规和不稳定工作的性别构成对解决南非经济中持续存在的种族主义和性别不平等问题具有重要意义。关键词:劳动力市场结构调整;非正规就业;不稳定的工作;性别JEL分类:J21;J30;J71;J80

Precarious Work and the Gendered Individualisation of Risk in the South African Manufacturing Sector, 2002–2017
Against the backdrop of workplace restructuring globally, post-apartheid South Africa is experiencing consistently high levels of unemployment, the deterioration of employment security and limited improvements in earnings. This article investigates the changing nature of labour-intensive production in the South African labour market and the gendered individualisation of risk associated with precarious or non-standard forms of employment. The article expands on the critical theoretical narrative about the challenges of labour under neo-liberalism by applying a gendered political economy analysis to the experiences of precariousness among workers in the South African manufacturing sector. By focusing on the interconnections between gender and political economy, this article delinks questions about the crisis of labour from a narrow focus on skills and refocuses our understanding in terms of the structural determinants of vulnerabilities in the labour market. The article argues that the gender composition of informal and precarious work in the post-apartheid labour market has significant implications for addressing the persistent racialised and gendered inequalities in the South African economy. KEYWORDS: labour market restructuring; informal employment; precarious work; gender JEL CLASSIFICATION: J21; J30; J71; J80
