Stats SA asks that people participate in the 'Income and Expenditure' survey

GUEST - Werner Ruch: Project director for the Income and Expenditure survey

Household income and expenditure surveys are an essential component to a healthy data ecosystem and critical for economic and developmental planning and decision-making. Statistical agencies like Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) use these surveys to inform the measurement of inflation and to better understand a country’s household economy and living conditions.

Stats SA asks South Africans to allow its officials conduct the 'Income and Expenditure' survey.
