Özet:

 

Poverty means different things to different people. There are many different  approaches to defining poverty but the basic needs approach is commonly applied,  particularly in developing countries where a bigger majority of the people struggle  to attain a predetermined minimum level of income to satisfy their basic needs. In  this study a survey questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 300  households in Bophelong township in Gauteng province during the second half of  2013. The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact that certain household and  individual characteristics (size of the household, gender of the head of the  household, etc.) can have in determining the poverty status of a household. A  binary logistic regression was used to analyse the data. The results show that the  education level of the head of the household, his/her employment status and age  were inversely related to poverty status. Improvements in the education level and  increases in the age of the head of the household were found to decrease the  probability of a household being categorised as poor. Households in which the  head of the household is employed have a lower probability of being categorised  as poor.
