What is this?
The General Household Survey measures the performance of government programmes and the quality of service delivery. It focuses on six broad areas: education, health and social development, housing, household access to services and facilities, food security, and agriculture.
Key points
  • Analysis down to the provincial level
  • Focus on development indicators
  • Series / indicators for individuals and households
What can it be used for?

The General Household Survey is conducted annually and provides supporting information to the more detailed Census (conducted every decade) and the Community Survey (conducted every decade, five years after the Census). The General Household Survey can be used to identify trends and shorter-term changes in key demographic and socio-economic variables.
