A labour market and gender equality analysis
This study introduces a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for South Africa, covering the economic transactions for the year 2019. The SAM provides a detailed framework for understanding the country's economic structure and relationships between various economic agents. It also serves as a foundation for analysing economic performance and simulating policy impacts using advanced modelling techniques. The presented SAM offers a highly detailed breakdown of the agricultural and food sectors, as well as labour and household characteristics, including provincial, gender, and formal/informal distinctions. By outlining the construction and estimation process, this research provides a valuable resource for policymakers and researchers to evaluate and implement social and economic policies in South Africa and demonstrates the SAM's utility through a descriptive analysis of the country's economy.
