FIGURE 9: LEVEL OF EDUCATION BY TENURE TYPE (N=943) The order in Figure 9 is more or less the reverse order of level of education by tenure type. Residents of informal settlements have lower levels of education, followed by farm dwellers, commonage, communal and land reform with the highest average levels of education across all household members. Respondents in informal settlements in the Cape Winelands are mainly former farm workers, thus reinforcing the lower levels of formal education amongst farm dwellers. 4.3 EMPLOYMENT Most of the research sites fall into areas that are low in the economic and spatial hierarchy. They are marginal to the broader economy. The closest towns to the research sites are mostly so-called ‘third order’ towns (drawing on National Spatial Development Perspective typologies), which are no more than service centres for the rural population, with a limited economic base of their own (see Annexure 2). 27
