Instructions
Employers may use this data, when conducting an analysis of the workforce profile, to make a comparison with the relevant national and provincial demographics. Please note that the columns and rows do not always total exactly. This is because Statistics SA rounds off the numbers in their publications.
Should more demographic information be required, these may be obtained from Statistics SA.
