Earnings and Spending in South Africa, 2006–2011

The second report to be published on Earnings and Spending in South Africa covers the period 2006-2011. The report uses the Income and Expenditure Surveys 2005/06 and 2010/11 and the Living Conditions Survey 2008/09 as sources of information. 

"The main focus in this report is on how households in South Africa earned and spent their income; as such, household income and household expenditure are discussed separately. In the income section, the report highlights the distribution of household income by different demographics (province, settlement type, household size, population group, etc.) together with their different sources. In the expenditure section, households are divided into expenditure quintiles to examine how much income households in each quintile spent and where they spent it on."
