Question

How did migrant labour system affect the family lives in the community? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The system of migrant work resulted in the fatherlessness of fathers who worked in low pay jobs in the city and are returned to their homes only once a year.

Explanation:

Apartheid architects made taverns easy for migrant workers to access. This resulted in those men spending all their money on the taverns as a way of discouraging them from sending money home due to the frustrating, terrible conditions under which they worked.

Economic climate requires both men and women to work to supplement revenue, with a large number of black women leaving their homes to find a better future in the city.

These young women raise their children alone in towns, contrary to the African saying: a village needs to raise children.
