CAPE TOWN - South Africa has plummeted to 117th in a global ranking of 149 countries on wage equality.
The 2018 World Economic Forum Global Gender Report does, however, rank South Africa at 19th when it comes to gender equality. But professor Anita Bosch from the University of Stellenbosch Business School said it was worrying that the country is dropping in the wage equality rankings. Last year it was at 114. Bosch said South Africa was doing satisfactorily in female participation in sectors such as health, education and politics, but the gender gap was still wide.
“When you have a look at economic participation and labour participation details, that is where it becomes more murky. I think the fact that it has been dropping , that is problematic”
We've already dropped to our knees. Not much further to go.
Yet another thing South Africa is failing at.

BUSINESS MAVERICK: SA’s car manufacturing system could help to get SA’s industrial development on the roadTo great political applause, car company Nissan has said it will spend R3-billion on its plant in Rosslyn outside Pretoria to build the Navara model. Announcements like these regularly punctuate the news; it’s all part of SA’s grand Automotive Production and Development Programme, arguably the crown of SA’s interventionist industrial effort. But if this policy is working so well — and it does seem it is — why is it not being applied to other sectors?
