Report-03-10-01 - Subjective Poverty in South Africa: Findings of the Living Conditions Survey

Subjective Poverty in South Africa is a report based on the results of the Living Conditions Survey (LCS) conducted between September 2008 and August 2009. The main aim of this survey is to provide data that will contribute to better understanding poverty in South Africa and to provide data for monitoring levels of poverty over time. Measurement of poverty levels, like the measurement of any other phenomenon such as unemployment, fertility or mortality requires a standard definition to be applied over time to properly determine trends. A debate on the definition of poverty in South Africa has been a continuous one in which several approaches have emerged. Two of the main concepts at the core of the definition of poverty are objective and subjective poverty. Subjective poverty, the subject of this report, is an individual`s assessment of his or her own welfare, utility or happiness. It challenges the mainstream view that poverty is an objective, money-metric and uniformly applicread more »

P0141.7 - Consumer Price Index New basket price survey results

From January 2008 to December 2008 Stats SA collected prices for goods and services for the new CPI basket. These prices were used to calculate the indices according to the new weights published in July 2008. These indices were also re-based to 2008=100. These indices will form the basis for calculating the year-on-year changes in the CPI for 2009 and the month-on-month change between December 2008 and January 2009. These indices do not replace the officially published figures for 2008 and do not constitute a revision of the 2008 inflation numbers. The table numbering in this publication has the same format as the new monthly publication P0141 as from January 2009. The tables not included in this publication have no historical data for 2008.read more »
