“…The casualization of formal‐sector jobs that once provided fixed benefits and regular employment in the sector has also been observed to undermine remittances to rural areas and “reduced the capacity to invest in agriculture or to cover food shortages with food purchases” (O'Laughlin, , p. 176).

Clearly, not all jobs are created equal in terms of their poverty alleviation potential.…”

With labour outsourcing linked in the literature to exploitative labour conditions (Coslovsky & Locke, ; Galiano et al, ), one might also ask how Zambia Sugar's heavy reliance on commercial outgrowers deflects responsibility for (and scrutiny of) labour relations.…”
