The results of this study are compared with studies on the day-labour market that were done in the United States. Some of the results are analysed and compared with trends that have been observed internationally and conclusions are drawn on the social impact of this activity.enCopyright University of Stellenbosch.Permission has been given to reproduce this file in the Repository.Day labourersSocio-economicUnemploymentArticle
