Abstract:Despite the fact that the migratory labour system has persisted for over a century, no systematic attempt to assess the size and characteristics of the stream of migrants has yet been made although some 'once off' estimates have been made. This paper is an attempt to fill this gap in the knowledge of the variables in the South African economic system: The basis of the estimate - The impact of oscillating migration on the modern sector - Education selection among South African domestic migrants - Age selection amongst temporary migrants - Regional migration patterns - Conclusions. Notes, tables. Contributors to the discussion of this paper: Mr. P. du Pré le Roux, Dr J. Lange, Mr. F. Palmer, Mr P. Black, Mr. Le Clus.
