South Africa - Labour Market Dynamics in South Africa

The Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) is a household-based sample survey conducted by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA). It collects data on the labour market activities of individuals aged 15 years or older who live in South Africa. Since 2008, Stats SA have generated an annual report which is released under the name "Labour Market Dynamics in South Africa". This report is constructed using data from a version of the pooled data from all four quarters (all four QLFS datasets in the year) and is ascribed the same nomenclature. Includes a number of extra variables (including income information) that are not available in any of the QLFS data files. This makes it distinct from a datafile that simply appends all of the QLFS datafiles in a given year.
