“…Similarly, Colored ethnicity, is linked to a specific socio-political framework associated with adverse socioeconomic circumstances such as lower levels of education (Salisbury, 2015), lower family income (Salisbury, 2015), high levels of unemployment (Kingdon & Knight, 2004), and high prevalence of substance use (Lesch & Adams, 2016), all of which were also identified as risk-factors for unplanned pregnancy within our subpopulation.…”

Pregnant women in general are at an increased risk of experiencing symptoms of mental illness, and those living in a developing country are even more vulnerable. Research points towards a causal relationship between unplanned pregnancy and perinatal mental illness and suggests that pregnancy planning can aid in reducing the negative impact of mental illness on a woman, her unborn baby, and the rest of the family. In this quantitative, descriptive study, we investigated both socio-demographic factors and variables relating to mental illness itself that may place women at an increased risk of experiencing unplanned pregnancy. Data was gathered at two maternal mental health clinics in Cape Town by means of semi-structured interviews. Univariate analyses of the data revealed five independent key risk factors for unplanned pregnancy: lower levels of education, unmarried status, belonging to the Colored ethnic population, substance use, and having a history of two or more suicide attempts. Some of these factors overlap with findings of similar studies, but others are unique to the specific population (women with mental illness within a developing country). Screening of women based on these risk predictors may pave the way for early interventions and reduce the incidence of unplanned pregnancy and the negative consequences thereof in the South African population.

“…The South African evidence suggests that, despite progress since apartheid, significant earnings differentials persist between African, colored, and white people. Whites earn 40 percent more per additional year of education than Africans and 20 percent more per additional year than colored people (Salisbury 2016).…”

“…Currently, South Africa has one of the highest national inequality measures in the world (with a Gini coefficient score of 0.69) (Forslund, ). Looming unemployment rates of 25–35 per cent and high wage gaps between white and black South Africans (Salisbury, ) have largely contributed to high income inequality and fuel the frustration of the urban poor and rural black South African majority (Keeton, ).…”

Breaking Boundaries: Exploring the Process of Intersective Market Activity of Immigrant Entrepreneurship in the Context of High Economic Inequality

We explore immigrant entrepreneurship using structuration theory to understand how migrant-led venture creation conducts socially-intersective market activity in the host country of high economic inequality and social exclusion. Applying Gidden's structuration theory to immigrant entrepreneurship (1994), we unravel the co-evolutionary process of both the entrepreneurial agent and the social structure of the host country via three phases of venture creation. We collected and examined original and longitudinal empirical data of eight South African-based immigrant entrepreneurs using a process-oriented theory-building approach. Our findings unveil a process by which home and host institutions shape immigrant entrepreneurial agency to identify non-ethnic business opportunities and to form relationships across diverse actors that counter existing norms of intergroup segregation and hostility. The process illustrates how an immigrant's social orientation to his/her host country's structure changes over time, and symbiotically, how the immigrant entrepreneur's actions -which break socially constructed boundaries -also change the social structure.
