Haroon Bhorat is Professor of Economics and Director of the Development Policy Research Unit (DPRU) at the University of Cape Town.[1] His area of research has concentrated on labour economics and poverty/income distribution mainly in his native South Africa, and recently, been expanded to other parts of Africa - in which he is world-renowned authority.

Early life and Education

Bhorat was born in Cape Town. Bhorat got a BA (Honours) from University of Cape Town in 1991.[2] He then proceeded to obtain a Masters and Ph.D., both in Economics from Stellenbosch University in 1996 and 2003 respectively.[2][3]

Career

Bhorat advised Presidents Thabo Mbeki and Kgalema Motlanthe on economic matters serving on the Presidential Economic Advisory Panel.[3] He also advised the South African Treasury.

He joined the IZA as Research fellow in January 2013.[4]

Bhorat consults for a number of supranational organisations such as the World Bank, the UNDP, and the ILO to name a few.[3] He also works as a Non-resident Senior Fellow at Brookings working on the Africa Growth Initiative programme.

Academic contributions

In a series of studies conducted with Murray Leibbrandt and Ingrid Woolard, race was a good predictor of vulnerability in the South African labour market.[5][6]

Bhorat has also conducted research on Sub-Saharan Africa economies' labour markets, where he finds a largely unenforced minimum wage laws riddled with complexity and vagueness.[7] Furthermore, the study finds that the minimum wage levels within Sub-Saharan Africa seem to be set at various levels relative to median wages, with largely negative impacts on employment levels within African countries.
