SOUHIERN AFRlCA LABOUR &, DEVELOP~iiEt!T RESEARCH Ut!lT
To anybody interested in what is happening in Southern Africa at the present time. it is clear that an understanding of changes taking place in the field of labour is crucial. The whole debate about the political implications of economic growth. for example. revolves very largely around different assess- ments of the role of black workers in the mines and factories of the Republic.
Many of the questions with which people involved in Southern Africa are now concerned relate. in one way or another. to the field generally set aside for labour economists to cultivate. The impact of trade unions; the causes of unemployment; the economic consequences of different educational policies;
the determination of wage structures; the economics of discrimination; all these and more are matters with which labour economists have been wrest- ling over the years in various parts of the world.
At the same time there are many who would argue that these issues are far wider than can be contained within the narrow context of 'labour economics'.
These issues, it is pointed out, go to the heart of the whole nature of develop- ment. In recent studies. commissioned by the International Labour Office.
of development problems in Columbia, Sri Lanka. and Kenya, for example, leading scholars have identified the three crucial issues facing these countries as being poverty. unemployment. and the distribution of income.
Thus the distinction between labour and development studies is becoming more blurred as economists come face tQ face with problems of real life in the Third World.
It is here too that an increasing number of people are coming to see that study of the political economy of South Africa must not be done on the assumption that the problems there are absolutely different from those facing other parts of the world. Indeed it can be argued that far from being an isolated, special case, South Africa is a model of the whole world containing within it all the divisions and tensions (black/white; rich/poor; migrant/
nonmigrant; capitalist west/third-world; etc.) that may be seen in global perspective. Be that as it may. the fact remains that the economy of Southern Africa (for the political and econorr.ic boundaries are singularly out of line with each other) is one of the most fascinating in the world. It is one on which far more research work needs to be done, and about which further under- standing of the forces at work is urgently required. It is in order to attempt to contribute to such an understanding that Saldru is issuing these working papers.
