This paper analyses the persistence of colour bar reservations into the present day mining sector. Focusing on the occupations Banksman/Onsetter, Blaster, Engineer, Labourer and Winding Engine Driver, an ordered probit regression is run producing little evidence to support the persistence. A White skill bias is noted and further investigated using Oaxaca decomposition. Observable skill sets such as education, experience, demographics and firm level characteristics are unable to adequately explain the occupational gap between the races. This might suggests some skill based discrimination is still rife, however with various unobservable characteristics the model cannot control for; a causal relationship cannot be confidently concluded. 2014-10-17T10:08:17Z 2014-10-17T10:08:17Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters Mcom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8511 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
