1	An exploratory study of the perceptions of people affecting and affected by day labourers at hiring sites in Tshwane Nel, Dehlia 02 1900 (has links) This dissertation explores the perceptions of different groups of people (subsystems) who affect and are affected by the phenomenon of day labourers in Tshwane. Three "day labourer sites" were identified. Businesses, residents, police, metro-police and the municipality directly connected to these sites were interviewed. Their perceptions were analysed using the systemic frame of reference. The data was processed to describe perceptual relational patterns between the day labourers and the different subsystems. The following themes amongst these relational patterns were identified and described: employment, law and order, contact between subsystems, sharing the environment / community and resources / facilities. These themes were described in relation to the Bill of Rights (Chapter 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996). This research aims to highlight some of the voices of the groups affecting and affected by the phenomenon of day labourers. / Social Work / M.A. (Mental Health) Day labourer Hiring site Resident Business Employer (Building contractor) Individual employers Community Community members Site 305.5620968227 South Africa.

3	An exploratory study of the informal hiring sites for day labourers in Tshwane Xipu, Lawrence 02 1900 (has links) The purpose of the study was to locate the informal hiring sites for day labourers in Tshwane, to determine the approximate number of day labourers, to describe the nature of socio-economic activities taking place at the sites, and to make recommendations to address needs that have been identified. The research approach and methodology was exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and qualitative. In terms of the findings, 80 informal hiring sites were identified in Tshwane with approximately 3032 day labourers standing at the sites. Case studies were done on three sites and it was found that they were hazardous and lacked basic facilities such as shelter and toilets. Employer-employee interactions were also found to be haphazard and sometimes manipulative and exploitative. It is recommended that intervention programmes should be implemented which could include the provision of basic facilities, skills development, job search assistance and access to comprehensive social services. / Health Studies / M.A. (Social Science - Mental Health) Day labourer Informal hiring site Day labour work Person-centred approach Critical theory 305.5620968227 Day laborers -- South Africa -- Tshwane Labor -- South Africa -- Tshwane Working class -- South Africa -- Tshwane Poverty -- South Africa -- Tshwane Urban poor -- South Africa -- Tshwane Migrant labor -- South Africa -- Tshwane
