Abstract:
This is aggregated data of individuals or households. The data originates from the South African censuses of 1996 and 2001 and covers the whole country at a municipal level. In order to calculate the aggregate poverty gap a cross tabulation of household income by household size, municipality and population group was drawn from the 2001 census.
The poverty gap of each poor household was summed to arrive at the aggregate poverty gap for each municipality.
