The rights of workers contained in labour law are multi-dimensional, and where workers face violations in more than one dimension, this compounds worker vulnerability. Yet, past analysis has tended to concentrate on compliance one dimension at a time — often with an almost exclusive focus on minimum wages. How can we conceptualize and measure compliance with labour laws more comprehensively? This article draws on the multi-dimensional poverty literature to set up an index that measures the extent of labour law violation along different dimensions. This index is then applied to South Africa to illustrate its application, and examine the insights such an index can provide on the nature and granular structure of compliance and levels of worker vulnerability. A quantile regression approach reveals how correlates of compliance vary substantially across the distribution of violation, highlighting that the probability of violation at the individual level is not linear but multiplicative in nature. As in the field of poverty studies, the development of multi-dimensional measures for labour violation can offer a broader understanding of the impact of overlapping vulnerabilities.

以南非为例,衡量多维劳动法的违法行为

劳动法中包含的工人权利是多维的,当工人面临不止一个维度的侵犯时,这加剧了工人的脆弱性。然而,过去的分析倾向于一次关注一个维度的合规性——通常几乎只关注最低工资。我们如何更全面地概念化和衡量遵守劳动法的情况?本文借鉴多维贫困文献,建立了一个衡量不同维度劳动法违法程度的指标。然后将该指数应用于南非以说明其应用,并检查此类指数可以提供的关于合规性的性质和细粒度结构以及工人脆弱性水平的见解。分位数回归方法揭示了合规性的相关性如何在违规分布中发生显着变化,强调个人层面的违规概率不是线性的,而是乘性的。与贫困研究领域一样,针对违反劳动行为的多维措施的发展可以提供对重叠脆弱性影响的更广泛理解。
