The report examines how women in South Africa's job market changed from 1995 to 2005. More African women joined the workforce during this time, with women overall benefiting more from job opportunities than men. However, many women ended up in low-paying, insecure jobs, and African women faced the most challenges in finding work. Women, especially African women, earned less than men, showing gender and racial discrimination in pay. African women, especially young and less educated ones, were the most vulnerable in the job market.
