Özet:

 

Government grants have become an important source of income for many  households in South Africa. With the need to understand their impact, this study  used household level data to analyse determinants of household poverty amongst  households receiving government grants in a South Africa Township of  Bophelong. A Logistic regression was estimated based on this data with the  economic status (that is poor and non-poor) as the dependent variable and a set of  demographic variables as the explanatory variables. The results of the study show  that household size, gender, age employment status were important predictors of  household poverty. The age and the employment status of the head of the  household reduce the probability of being poor. The household size is associated  with an increased probability of being poor.
