The Income and Expenditure Survey is conducted every five years in South Africa.The main purpose of the survey is to determine the average expenditure patterns of households in different areas of the country. This survey forms the basis for the determination of the "basket" of consumer goods and services used for the calculation of the Consumer Price Index.
The survey had national coverage
Units of analysis in the survey are households
The survey covered private dwellings, workers' hostels, residential hotels, and nurses' and doctors' quarters, but excluded hospitals and clinics, hotels and guest houses, prisons, schools and student hostels and old-age homes.
Sample survey data [ssd]
The sampling frame for the IES 2010/2011 was obtained from Statistics South Africa’s Master Sample (MS) based on the 2001 Population Census enumeration areas (EAs). The scope of the Master Sample (MS) is national coverage of all households in South Africa and the target population consists of all qualifying persons and households in the country. In summary, it has been designed to cover all households living in private dwelling units and workers living in workers’ quarters in the country. The IES 2010/2011 sample is based on an extended sample of 3 254 PSUs, which consists of the 3 080 PSUs in the Master Sample and a supplement of 174 urban PSUs selected from the PSU frame. The IES sample file contained 31 419 sampled dwelling units (DUs). The 31 419 sampled DUs consist of 31 007 DUs sampled from the 3 080 design PSUs in the Master Sample and 412 DUs from the supplemented 174 urban PSUs. In the case of multiple households at a sampled DU, all households in the DU were included.
Face-to-face [f2f]
There were four modules in the household questionnaire with eighteen subsections. The first module collected general household data and data on household members. Modules 2 to 4 collected data on consumption expenditure, household finances and income. The diary was a booklet in which the respondent recorded weekly expenditure data. A household completed a different diary for each week of the survey period.
From the 31 419 dwelling units sampled across South Africa, 33 420 households were identified. Out of these, there was a sample realisation of 27 665 (82,8%) households, with the remaining 5 755 (17,2%) households being classified as out of scope.
As of 2022, Seychelles was the African country with the highest estimated minimum gross monthly wage, standing at 464.76 U.S. dollars. It was followed by Morocco at 285.61 U.S. dollars and South Africa 248.12 U.S. dollars. Among the selected nations, only five countries had a minimum wage above 200 U.S. dollars on the continent. Minimum wage adjustments Legislations regarding minimum wages vary significantly across countries. The minimum remuneration of employees is usually proportionate to a specific area's cost of living. Determining a minimum wage aims to increase employees' living conditions while reducing poverty and inequality. Due to rising prices and inflation, governments occasionally adjust the minimum salary. In Africa, Sierra Leone experienced the highest increase in the minimum wage in recent years, with a growth of almost 30 percent between 2010 and 2019. However, governments can also lower minimum wages. Liberia and Burundi reduced the lowest possible remuneration by around 14 percent and eight percent, respectively, between 2010 and 2019. Widespread informal employment Despite legislation in force, minimum wages are not always guaranteed. In fact, several forms of employment allow employers to avoid paying minimum wages. In addition, undeclared work remains a common practice in many countries worldwide. The situation is particularly critical in some African countries. According to estimates, over 96 percent of the working population in Niger, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Benin, and Madagascar engaged in informal employment between 2019 and 2023. In Egypt and South Africa, the share stood at 67 percent and 42 percent, respectively. Seychelles had the lowest rate on the continent at around 17 percent.

The National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) is a face-to-face longitudinal survey of individuals living in South Africa as well as their households. The survey was designed to give effect to the dimensions of the well-being of South Africans, to be tracked over time. At the broadest level, these were:
Wealth creation in terms of income and expenditure dynamics and asset endowments;
Demographic dynamics as these relate to household composition and migration;
Social heritage, including education and employment dynamics, the impact of life events (including positive and negative shocks), social capital and intergenerational developments;
Access to cash transfers and social services
Wave 1 of the survey, conducted in 2008, collected the detailed information for the national sample. In 2010/2011 Wave 2 of NIDS re-interviewed these people, gathering information on developments in their lives since they were interviewed first in 2008. As such, the comparison of Wave 1 and Wave 2 information provides a detailed picture of how South Africans have fared over two years of very difficult socio-economic circumstances.
The survey had national coverage. The lowest level of geographic aggregation for the NIDS data is district municipality.
The units of analysis in the survey are individuals and households.
The target population for NIDS was private households in all nine provinces of South Africa, and residents in workers' hostels, convents and monasteries. The frame excludes other collective living quarters, such as student hostels, old age homes, hospitals, prisons and military barracks.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Face-to-face [f2f]
As in Wave 1 four types of questionnaires were administered in Wave 2:
Household questionnaire: One household questionnaire was completed per household by the oldest woman in the household or another person knowledgeable about household affairs and particularly household spending. Household questionnaires took approximately 45 minutes in non-agricultural households and 70 minutes in agricultural households to complete. Individual Adult questionnaire: The Adult questionnaire was applied to all present Continuing Sample Members and other household member's resident in their households that are aged 15 years or over. This questionnaire took an average of 45 minutes per adult to complete. Individual Proxy Questionnaire: Should an individual qualifying for an Adult questionnaire not be present then a Proxy Questionnaire (a much reduced Adult Questionnaire using third party referencing in the questioning) was taken on their behalf with a present resident adult. On average a Proxy questionnaire took 20 minutes. Proxy Questionnaires were also asked for CSMs who had moved out of scope (out of South Africa or to a non-accessible institution such as prison), except if the whole household moved out of scope, and could therefore not be tracked or interviewed directly. Child questionnaire: This questionnaire collected information about all Continuing Sample Members and residents in their household younger than 15. Information about the child was gathered from the care-giver of the child. The questionnaire focused on the child's educational history, education, anthropometrics and access to grants. This questionnaire took an average of 20 minutes per child to complete.
Phase Two of Wave 2: In June 2011 NIDS commissioned a Phase Two of Wave 2 as a Non-Response Follow-Up from Phase 1 of Wave 2. Household included in this subsample where those that refused and those that could not be located or tracked in Phase 1. Out of a total of 1064 households attempted, an additional 389 households were successfully interviewed in Phase Two.
Questionnaire Differences between W2 Phase 1 & W2 Phase2 There are two important methodological differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2: 1. Not all sections of the original Wave 2 questionnaires were asked. This reduced respondent burden and the time required for fieldworker training. Questions NOT asked in Phase 2 are indicated with the non-response code “-2”. Core modules such as household composition and income were still asked. Consult the Wave 2 Phase 2 questionnaires for more details of these differences. 2. Movers out of Phase 2 dwelling units were not tracked further. Address information was collected for this sub-sample and they will be tracked as part of the Wave 3 fieldwork exercise. These individuals are classified as “Not tracked” in the Wave 2 dataset.

Seychelles recorded the highest Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in Africa as of 2023, at 16,940 U.S. dollars. The African island was, therefore, the only high-income country on the continent, according to the source's classification. Mauritius, Gabon, Botswana, Libya, South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, Algeria, and Namibia were defined as upper-middle-income economies, those with a GNI per capita between 4,516 U.S. dollars and 14,005 U.S. dollars. On the opposite, 20 African countries recorded a GNI per capita below 1,145 U.S. dollars, being thus classified as low-income economies. Among them, Burundi presented the lowest income per capita, some 230 U.S. dollars. Poverty and population growth in Africa Despite a few countries being in the high income and upper-middle countries classification, Africa had a significant number of people living under extreme poverty. However, this number is expected to decline gradually in the upcoming years, with experts forecasting that this number will decrease to almost 400 million individuals by 2030 from nearly 430 million in 2023, despite the continent currently having the highest population growth rate globally. African economic growth and prosperity In recent years, Africa showed significant growth in various industries, such as natural gas production, clean energy generation, and services exports. Furthermore, it is forecast that the GDP growth rate would reach 4.5 percent by 2027, keeping the overall positive trend of economic growth in the continent.
