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.

Geographic coverage

The survey had national coverage

Analysis unit

Units of analysis in the survey are households

Universe

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.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

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.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

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.

Response rate

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.
