The Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) carries out research in applied empirical microeconomics with an emphasis on labour markets, human capital, poverty, inequality and social policy. We strive for academic excellence and policy relevance. SALDRU has implemented a range of innovative surveys in South Africa since it was founded in 1975, and is based in the School of Economics in the University of Cape Town. We have three permanent research staff, and twenty two Research Associates who share common research interests, and are drawn from the UCT School of Economics, as well as other South African and international universities.
