Includes bibliographical references (p. 79-83). In the context of rising unemployment, an NGO called Men on the Side of the Road (MSR) was established to provide men who stand by the side of the road waiting to be offered jobs with job opportunities and skills. The purpose of the ethnographic study described here was to assess members‘ experiences and attitudes towards the work or income-earning opportunities introduced to members by MSR. The overall goal of the report was to assess why a large proportion of the work opportunities introduced to members were not taken up with great enthusiasm. After completion of the study, the researcher found that the day-labourers used three different labels ('locals', 'networking workers' and 'struggling foreigners') to describe themselves and other roadside workseekers. 2015-01-05T18:40:20Z 2015-01-05T18:40:20Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11444 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
