Report-03-10-08 - The South African MPI: Creating a multidimensional poverty index using census data

The main purpose of this report is the provision of poverty maps and poverty data at provincial and municipal level. In so doing, this report details how the South African Multidimensional Poverty Index (SAMPI) was conceptualised and constructed using data collected by Stats SA through Census 2001 and 2011. The SAMPI, based on the Alkire-Foster method, provides another tool in Stats SA`s ongoing efforts to measure poverty and deprivation in the country. The SAMPI was born out of the desire to develop a new product that could build onto the work started with the development of the Provincial Indices of Multiple Deprivation (PIMD) after Census 2001. Unlike the PIMD, the SAMPI has the advantage of being fully decomposable by demographic and geographic variables; this shows not only in what aspects the poor are deprived, but also reveals the interconnections among those deprivations. read more »


P0211.4.1 - National and provincial labour market: Dynamics

The national labour market results mask variations at provincial level which can often be quite large. The nine provinces differ in population size, land mass, demographic profile, and economic structure. This report is the second in a quarterly series which will be released when the QLFS results are reported. The aim is to provide users with an analysis of various aspects of the South African labour market at provincial level, based on current labour market information. The analysis in this report is based solely on the results of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) conducted in the third and fourth quarters of 2012 (Q3: QLFS) and (Q4: QLFS). The data have been revised to reflect the new population benchmarks from the population census of 2011 read more »


Report-03-19-00 - Social profile of vulnerable groups in South Africa

A social profile is concerned with factors and processes that influence vulnerability towards various pressures that may prohibit an individual from enjoying life. This report attempts to highlight some of these challenges by providing a snapshot of vulnerable groups (specifically children, youth, women, people with disabilities and the elderly) in terms of issues such as household characteristics, housing, access to basic services, economic participation and income, health and well being, and finally education and skills development. Data will be drawn from the General Household Surveys for the period 2002-2009. It is hoped that the report will enhance awareness of the challenges faced by these vulnerable groups and that data will contribute to a better understanding of their respective development dynamics. Each section will focus on a specific special vulnerable group and will use indicators selected on account of their importance to the specific group to explore changes, challread more »
