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.

Abstract

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 IES is based on the sample for the rotating panel of the twice yearly Labour force Survey (LFS). The IES 2000 was conducted in October 2000.

Abstract

A comprehensive survey was conducted by Central Statistical Service (later Statistics South Africa) in October 1995 in order to determine the income and expenditure of households in South Africa. This survey shows the earnings and spendings of South African households and the pattern of household consumption. The survey covered the metropolitan, urban and rural areas of South Africa. The main purpose of the survey was to determine the average expenditure patterns of households in the different areas concerned. 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 1995 IES differed from previous household surveys of its kind in South Africa, since it was a countrywide survey covering metro, urban and rural areas, rather than a more limited sub-set of households in 12 major metro/urban areas of the country covered by the 1990 IES.

The 1995 IES differed from previous household surveys of its kind in South Africa, since it was a countrywide survey covering metro, urban and rural areas, rather than a more limited sub-set of households in 12 major metro/urban areas of the country previously referred to. By extending the sample to include the whole country, a clearer indication of the life circumstances of all South Africans in all parts of the country could be inferred.

Kind of data

Sample survey data

Sampling procedure

Two surveys, namely the CSS’s annual October household survey (OHS) and the IES were run concurrently during October 1995. Information for the IES was obtained, as far as possible, from the same 30 000 households that were visited for the 1995 OHS. Altogether, 3 000 enumerator areas (EAs) were drawn for the sample, and ten households were visited in each EA. The sample was stratified by race, province, urban and non-urban area. The 1991 population census was used as a frame for drawing the sample, including estimates of the size of the population in the formerly independent TBVC (Transkei-Bophuthatswana-Venda-Ciskei) states. More details on the sampling frame and sampling procedure are given in the report on the 1995 OHS, Living in South Africa (CSS, 1996).
