Promoting Domestic And Export Activity In

Abstract

South Africa is an example of a country with an enclave model in terms of development. This former settler-dominated economy is faced with the problem of unemployment and underemployment. The purpose of this study is to investigate ways in which the informal sector could become more productive and competitive and a nexus for industrialisation. A comparative analysis of two case studies found within the craft sector is undertaken. The case study respondents were the Talking Beads and the Kopper en Kraale. Questionnaires were used and analysed. This resulted in development strategies that are proposed for the integration of the informal sector into the formal sector of the economy
