We need a strong foundation of labour market information across the post-school system and labour markets, down to sector, occupational and regional levels. This study investigates sources of data available for analysis of the South African labour
market. It is a data discovery exercise to identify and locate available data sources relevant to the needs of policy researchers and analysts.

DataFirst is a data service and research unit at the University of Cape Town. It promotes continued use and preservation of African socioeconomic survey data.
