About this monograph

This monograph analyses Chinese companies’ labour practices in six southern African countries: Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It explores employment patterns, wage agreements and working conditions, and also reflects on the relationships between Chinese companies and trade unions, as well as the effectiveness of mechanisms to prevent and settle labour disputes in the selected countries. The study focuses on the construction, mining, textiles and fisheries sectors. It presents key findings and recommendations aimed at improving labour relations.
