The second edition of Essential Social Security Law examines the law that seeks to alleviate the economic and social consequences suffered by people in the event of a complete or partial loss of income. It focuses on those contingencies that have a direct impact on a person’s earning capacity, such as old age, injuries, unemployment, sickness and pregnancy. It also deals with the death of a breadwinner, medical incapacity, the inability to maintain children, personal and community crises, hardship caused by the state and the lack of opportunities for disadvantaged members of society. In the process of examining these contingencies, the book deals with legislation such as the Social Assistance Act, Pension Funds Act, Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, Unemployment Insurance Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act and Medical Schemes Act.
In Search of Equality
Women, law and society in Africa
S RÖHRS, D SMYTHE & A HSIEH
In the 1960s several African countries drew up a new Constitution which included a Protocol on the Rights of Women. Decades later, is there gender equality for women in Africa? The authors of this volume provide insights into women’s rights in Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda. They look at the causes, context and consequences of the struggle to uphold women’s rights and illustrate property-grabbing in Malawi, women’s citizenship in Nigeria, and the rise of hate crimes and sexual violence against black lesbians in South Africa, among other issues.
