Abstract
This paper seeks to estimate the degree of racially discriminatory labour practices in South Africa and their development during the first five years in power of the multiracial government. It successively presents three econometric studies, which allow evaluating the extent of racial discrimination in employment, in the access to high skilled occupations and in earnings. It is shown that nowadays discrimination account for between 30 per cent and 40 per cent of the racial gaps, depending on the type of inequality regarded. Turning to the evolution of discrimination between 1993 and 1999, it appears that only discrimination in employment has decreased during the period considered whereas occupational and wage discrimination slightly strengthened.
