dc.description.abstract |
Government Departments in South Africa utilise a number of different data sets on
income of rural households. These include the Population Census of 1996, the October
Household Survey of 1995 and 2000, the Rural Household Survey of 1997 and the
various agricultural censuses (1996 and 2003). All of these use different approaches in
obtaining household income. The agricultural census, for example, only reports on
farm income – excluding the non-farm income. This paper reviews the different
sources of household income data, their measurement techniques and the utilisation
thereof. The difference in application of various surveys in the former homeland areas
and the so-called commercial farming areas are also shown. In the case of the former
homeland areas integrated rural household data are used for poverty measurement
purposes. The context and methodologies of these surveys are discussed in detail. |
