Full textThe transition of South Africa's political system from an apartheid administration to a democratic rule in 1994 resulted in the end of years of international sanctions imposed on the country. This move placed the country back on the global trading market. In addition, improvements in living conditions, education attainment, and labour market outcomes of societal groups who were previously disadvantaged by the apartheid administration were expected. Looking at the labour market in greater detail, government devised policies aimed at addressing, amongst others, the racial and gender inequalities in job access and remuneration as well as improving the employment conditions. Despite these attempts, women have been known to be subjected to different kinds of discrimination. As a result, they have been segregated, and in most case were over-represented in low income, less secure employment as well as over-represented in the unemployed pool of the labour force. Numerous South African studies in the past only derived the “trends” labour market activities by gender since the transition by comparing the 1995 October Household Survey (OHS) with the latest available Labour Force Survey (LFS), without taking into consideration the comparability issues of the datasets. Hence, this thesis uses all the South African labour survey data in 1995-2009 to investigate the trends in the performance of each gender in the labour market since the transition, specifically looking at the following: labour force participation likelihood, employment likelihood, remuneration and working conditions of the employed, characteristics of the unemployed, as well as whether gender discrimination in the labour market (with specific focus on employment probability gap and wage gap) still exists since the advent of democracy.

This study adds value to the South African literature on labour market policy evaluation and their poverty impacts in general, and minimum wages and wage subsidies in particular, both in terms of the theoretical and descriptive analyses provided. Various possible modelling approaches are explored, with careful consideration of the advantages and limitations of each. A rich set of model results is also generated. Under both the policies evaluated, the poverty outcome is shown to generally be positive but small. Furthermore, the outcome is highly sensitive to the wage elasticity of demand: while minimum wages tend to be more effective in reducing poverty when the wage elasticity is low, wage subsidies generate superior outcomes under a high wage elasticity scenario.

Full textEste trabalho pretende avaliar o Programa de Apoio ao Empreendedorismo e Criação da Própria Empresa "PAECPE" promovido pelo IEFP enquanto medida de ativação de emprego. Efetuámos uma revisão de literatura sobre medidas de ativação de emprego, empreendedorismo, características dos empreendedores, contexto institucional favorável e a função do crédito. Apresentamos o PAECPE e a sua execução até 31-12-2013, enquadrada no contexto económico de Portugal nos últimos anos, que foram marcados pelo programa de assistência financeira internacional, pela recessão e pelo aumento do desemprego. Lançámos um inquérito a 1.130 beneficiários do Programa. O questionário versou sobre o impacto do PAECPE nas suas vidas, bem como sobre a avaliação que estes fazem das linhas de crédito protocoladas (Microinvest e Invest+). Analisámos detalhadamente: O que os beneficiários apontam como sendo o aspeto menos positivo destas linhas: rapidez na formalização e na concessão do crédito; O fim último a que o Programa se destina: criação de emprego e respetivos custos diretos. Complementámos com a análise da carteira de crédito de um Banco de operações enquadradas no PAECPE, constituída por 311 operações; este trabalho permitiu-nos ter uma outra perspetiva, diríamos que "interna", do funcionamento do Programa. Concluímos que o PAECPE é eficiente (o custo público é reduzido) mas pouco utilizado. Apresentamos algumas sugestões de ajustamento, no sentido de torná-lo mais eficaz, e que passam sobretudo por simplificar o processo de enquadramento das operações e por aumentar a atratividade para quem tem a função de o distribuir e dinamizar (os Bancos).
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the "Programa de Apoio ao Empreendedorismo e Criação da Própria Empresa", PAECPE, sponsored by IEFP, as an active labour market policy. We begin this work by a literature survey on active labour market policies, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs' personal characteristics, institutional context favourable to entrepreneurship and the function of credit in the instigation of entrepreneurship. We then present PAECPE and its execution as of 31-12-2013, in the context of Portugal's economic environment, characterized by the international financial assistance programme, by the economic recession and the growth of unemployment. Finally, to evaluate the Programme, we launched a questionnaire to 1.130 beneficiaries, inquiring about the Programme's impact on their lives, as well as their evaluation on the credit lines associated. We have analyzed in depth: The worst classified dimension on the credit lines: quickness of approval and disposal of funds; The major goal of the Programme: job creation at controlled costs. We have complemented our work with the analysis of the PAECEP credit portfolio of a Bank, constituted by 311 deals. This allowed us to have an internal perspective of the Programme functioning. We concluded that PAECPE is an efficient Programme (the public costs are small) but not much utilized by potential beneficiaries; therefore we present some suggestions for its effectiveness improvement, namely to simplify the framework of the credit lines, in order to accelerate the timings of approval and disposal of funds, and to increase its attractiveness for the distribution channel (the Banks).

Full textUsing data from the Labour Force Survey conducted by Statistics South Africa twice yearly this thesis intend to evaluate the Expanded Public Works Programme regarding its effectiveness in creating employment and raising income in households with participating individuals. The South African labour market is well known for its high rates of unemployment and also its segregation, primarily between black and white people, but also young people are having a hard time finding jobs. In order to fight these problems the South African government has launched the Expanded Public Works Programme(EPWP) which provides low- semi-skilled labour with short term employment, the primary target groups being black and coloured people, women, disabled people and young people. Our findings indicate that the EPWP does not significantly enhance the individual’s probability of being employed, nor does it raise the per capita income of households with participating individuals.

Full textAs one of Europe’s largest-producing actors in the energy sector with a wide energy mix, Vattenfall has a great responsibility to contribute to sustainable development of society. To do so, economical, environmental and social aspects need to be balanced in a responsible way. This is done through acting social responsible or in other terms, addressing corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the company’s business activities. Electricity and heat constitute one of the prerequisites for a modern society. However, it has always been a highly debated industry due to its inevitable impact on the environment and society. This makes it crucial for Vattenfall and its operations to act as responsible as possible and listen to the stakeholders and take their expectations into account in the business decisions process. Vattenfall has a long history of being criticised for its activities by NGOs and media. However, Vattenfall´s main task is to deliver electricity and heat to the society, which means that Vattenfall must continue to deliver secure energy supply to its markets, but with as little negative impact on the environment and society as possible.
Vattenfall is through its operations, its value chain, its use of technology and the markets on which it operates, exposed to risks associated with the areas human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. These “CSR risks” can harm the reputation, brand and image if they are not managed in a proactive and effective way. In order to manage CSR risks and emerging CSR issues, the company needs to catch and respond quickly to new trends and expectations raised by opinion formers, which often are expressed through the media and the Internet. The aim of this study is to provide Vattenfall with a tool to do so. Through identifying the main CSR risks related to its operations, awareness about Vattenfall’s vulnerability areas are created. The result shows that the largest CSR risks for Vattenfall are technology related, i.e., connected to the fuels used in Vattenfall’s power plants and their value chain. This knowledge can be used when addressing CSR in the organization.
Still, a direct solution to manage CSR risks and emerging CSR issue is needed. The second purpose of this study is to propose a process for a CSR issues management at Vattenfall. The aim of such an issues management is to provide the company with a tool to identify, analyse and manage emerging issues. A CSR issues management will provide Vattenfall with a tool to respond to emerging issues before they become public knowledge. It should scan and collect external and internal information, identify relevant information for Vattenfall, monitor ongoing and emerging CSR issues/concerns/debates and report to relevant functions in the Vattenfall organization.

Full textThe relationship between flexibility of human resources management and precarious work has generated further controversy and analysis. On the one hand, there are more and more companies using different methods of flexible management and on the other hand, there is an increase of workers with precarious jobs, not only in Portugal, but in general in Europe. In particular, external flexibility seems to imply increased insecurity and precarious jobs. We intend to contribute to this debate with basis on the assumption that the relationship flexibility/precarious work may assume different patterns in view of the size of the companies concerned, their activities (type of services or products) and characteristics of occupations involved (more or less skilled). Thus, we explore in this study the case of two micro enterprises, of two distinct sectors, one within information and communication technologies sector and the other within the artistic and cultural sector, and both comprising skilled workers with the aim of identifying and comparing strategies and practices of flexibility and their impact on precarious work, and with the aim of mapping and comparing the social representations of the workers (of the two companies) in relation to flexibility/precarious work.
