One of the most significant changes within capitalist nations during the late twentieth century is the transition of the capitalist mode of production from Fordism to Post-Fordism. Changes in macro-economic market conditions, production processes and labour processes are part of the transition. These changes are felt not only at the level of the aggregate economy, economic sectors, firms and labour markets. They have an impact on the employment relationship and the way workers make their livelihoods. This dissertation provides empirical evidence of labour market flexibility in the clothing manufacturing and the clothing retail sectors and demonstrates that the number of hours worked and wages earned have implications for the livelihoods of workers. The research was undertaken in a clothing manufacturer and clothing retailer situated outside of Durban. The clothing manufacturer is located within an industrial area in Tongaat and the clothing retailer is located within a regional shopping centre in Westville. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2012.

Focalizam-se as origens históricas do circuito de subcontratação transnacional de força-de-trabalho boliviana para o abastecimento de oficinas de costura informais - a princípio, de donos coreanos - e a experiência social boliviana no interior desse circuito na cidade de São Paulo. A despeito da visibilidade desse circuito, no bojo dos processos de reestruturação produtiva do setor de confecção, durante a década de 1990, argumenta-se que as determinantes históricas do circuito encontram-se nos processos de desenvolvimento e suas conseqüências nos países de origem dos fluxos migratórios de bolivianos e coreanos. E sobre a experiência social dos bolivianos são consideradas as trajetórias sócio-espaciais desses imigrantes no interior do circuito. / Abstract: This work deals with the immigration of Bolivians and Koreans to São Paulo in the context of the garment industry. It focuses on the historical origins of the transnational subcontracting circuit of Bolivian labor force to supply sweatshops in the garment sector - in the beginning, owned by south Koreans - and the Bolivian social experience inside this circuit at the city of São Paulo. Despite the visibility of this circuit, in the context of processes of production restructuring in the garment sector, during the decade of 1990, I argue that the historical determinants of the circuit are in the development processes and its consequences in the origin countries of Koreans and Bolivians immigration flows. And about the Bolivians social experience are considered the socio-spaces trajectories of these immigrants inside this circuit. / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia
