Unemployment, at nearly 25% of the workforce, is higher than it was when Mr Mandela took office in 1994.
Female participation in the workforce is higher than in most other countries; English is widely spoken; and Swedes are thoroughly computer-literate.
The cost of living here is cheaper, and the workforce is higher quality in many ways; the population is larger, and it's looking for flexible part-time work; and the diverse neighborhoods afford you with more marketing opportunities.
From this perspective and consistent with similar studies, the probability of voluntary exit from the workforce is higher for women than for men, particularly among married women (e.g. Hersch and Stratton 1997; Keith and McWilliams 1999; Theodossiou 2002).
Proportions not in the workforce were higher in urban areas, where this group was likely to comprise mainly students and housewives not engaged in family enterprises.
The camps and accompanying public services as well as proximity to home have been the main determinants; and (3) the demographic and educational composition of the refugees is comparable to that of the natives living in the hosting regions suggesting that the potential for substitutability in the workforce is high.

Slightly fewer than half of those above age 15 were regarded as forming part of the civilian workforce in 2000; at the same time roughly one-tenth of the workforce was unemployed, a higher proportion than in Israel's coastal cities but considerably lower than adjacent areas of the West Bank.
The European Union's statistics agency said 11.9% of the eurozone's workforce was unemployed, the highest percentage for the currency bloc since records began in 1995, with almost 19m out of work.
Granted, some details of the canvas are changing: women's share of the workforce is much higher than it was a generation ago, and they comprise the majority of university students in some countries.
