1 The World Bank Urban Research Symposium, December 15-17, 2003 Does city structure cause unemployment? The case study of Cape Town Presented by Harris Selod (INRA and CREST, France) Co-authored with Sandrine Rospabé (CREREG, France) 1
2 Introduction City structure can deteriorate labor-market outcomes: Mismatch between residences and job opportunities. Residential segregation. South African cities are characterized by: Sprawl. Racial segregation. Objective: A case-study relating unemployment to city-structure. Urban unemployment in South Africa 2
3 This presentation 1. Urban unemployment: some elements of theory. 2. Some stylized facts on Cape Town. 3. The data, sample, and methodology. 4. The empirical analysis. Urban unemployment in South Africa 3
4 1. Elements of theory Distance to job opportunities prevents workers from finding and keeping well-paid jobs (i.e. the spatial mismatch hypothesis, Kain, 1968, Ihlanfeldt and Sjoquist, 1998, Gobillon, Selod, Zenou, 2003): Long and expensive commuting costs (possibly exacerbated by an inefficient public transportation system) might deter some workers from accepting jobs. Job search is less efficient (lack of information about jobs) or less intense (low frequency of search trips, weak incentives to search) at a distance from job opportunities. Urban unemployment in South Africa 4
5 Segregation deteriorates labor-market outcomes (Cutler and Glaeser, 1997): It impedes local investments in human capital (Benabou 1993, Selod and Zenou, 2001, 2003). It fosters socially deviant behaviors that affect employability (Crane, 1991). It deteriorates social networks and information people have about jobs (Holzer, 1988, Ihlanfeldt, 1997, Selod and Zenou, 2003). It facilitates the stigmatization of neighborhoods and territorial discrimination (Zenou and Boccard, 2000). Urban unemployment in South Africa 5

17 3. The data used (i) Regional Service Council (RSC) Levy database (2000): All firms and establishments paying a local tax. Enables to identify the locations of formal salaried jobs. (ii) Census of the Population (1996): Information on neighborhood composition. Coupled to the RSC Levy database: job densities. Urban unemployment in South Africa 17
18 (iii) Migration and Settlement in the CMA (1998): 990 households (4,299 individuals) living in 25 randomly selected areas in Cape Town. Places of residence and places of work; transportation; Urban unemployment in South Africa 18
19 Approach: Explain the probability of unemployment P i of a worker i, using a logit model: Log (P i /1-P i )=α+βi i +γh i +δn i where I i =personal characteristics H i =household characteristics N i =neighborhood characteristics Sample: All economically active individuals in the migration study aged 15 to 65: 1,877 observations. Urban unemployment in South Africa 19
20 4. The empirical analysis Results obtained so far: The chances of unemployment are exacerbated by spatial factors: Distance to jobs Rural origin (especially for women) Residential inertia Urban unemployment in South Africa 20
