1.Introduction
Thisreportdealswiththeintricatedynamicsofemploymenteffectswithinindustrialsymbiosisnetworks,specificallyfocusingontheinformalsectorintheSouthAfricanprovincesofGautengandtheWesternCape.Rootedintheprinciplesofthecirculareconomy,industrialsymbiosisfosterscollaborationamongtraditionallydistinctindustriesandpresentsasignificantopportunityforeconomicgrowthindevelopingcountrieslikeSouthAfrica.Thecirculareconomy,whichischaracterizedbytherecycling,repairandreuseofproductsandmaterials,hasgainedprominenceindevelopingcountriesinrecentyears(Lahmeetal.2020).Centraltothisparadigmisindustrialsymbiosis,acollaborativeapproachthatpromotestheexchangeofmaterials,energy,waterandby-productsamongindustries(Chertow2000).Whiletheenvironmentalandeconomicimpactsofindustrialsymbiosisarewelldocumented,thesocialdimensions,particularlyitseffectsonemploymentandjobquality,remainunder-explored(Nevesetal.2020).ThepresentstudyaddressesthisgapbyexaminingtheemploymentdynamicsofindustrialsymbiosisnetworksintheSouthAfricaninformaleconomy.
Theinitialscopingforthereportwasframedbyaseriesofcriticalquestions:
1.Whatarethenuancedemploymenteffects,bothquantitativeandqualitative,ofindustrialsymbiosisnetworksintheSouthAfricaninformaleconomy,withaccounttakenofthechallengesinachievingdecentwork?
2.Howdothesenetworkspositivelyinfluenceinformaljobsandenterprises,andwhatinsightscanbegainedfromtheseeffects?

5.Whatbarriersimpedetherealizationofpositiveemploymentresults,particularlyasregardsformalizinginformaljobs?
6.Whatrecommendationscantheprivatesectorandnationalandlocalgovernmentsadopttofosterjobcreation,theformalizationofemploymentandtheenhancementofjobqualitywithinindustrialsymbiosisnetworks?
7.ArespecificskillsetsrequiredforjobscreatedthroughindustrialsymbiosisintheSouthAfricanlabourmarket,andaretheskillsinquestionreadilyavailable?
Thisstudyreliesonbothquantitativeandqualitativemethods.Itbeginswithareviewofthenationalandinternationalliterature,drawingonthefoundationaldefinitionofindustrialsymbiosisbyChertow(2000).Acasestudy,theWesternCapeIndustrialSymbiosisProgramme,offersinvaluableinsightsintoemploymentimpactsandopportunitiesforjobformalization.ThereportfocusesontwovaluechainsinSouthAfrica,namelytextilesandconstruction,whichwerechoseninviewoflocaldataavailabilityandaccess,andalsobearinginmindglobalconcernsovertheenvironmentalimpactandwastemanagementchallengesofbothsectors.
Thecollectionofprimarydatawascarriedoutthroughstructuredinterviewswithfiveenterprisemanag-ersandrepresentativesofemployers’organizationsacrossinformalandformalenterprises.Additionally,surveysweredistributedamongworkersininformaljobsandenterprises,providinganessentialfirst-handperspectiveonjobqualityandformalization.Atotalof18workerswereinterviewed.Itisworthnotingthat,inmanycases,thelinebetweenoperatingasaninformalworkerandentrepreneurshipisblurred,assuchworkersoftenhaveotherpeopleintheiremployonaninformalbasis.
