Good health and a safe living environment are fundamental indicators of well-being. They are also important domains of a multi-dimensional model of poverty.
This report explores the perceptions of South Africans, measured both qualitatively and quantitatively, on key aspects of their living environment in terms of what they regard as essential for an acceptable standard of living.
The report aims to outline some of the qualitative and quantitative findings in relation to health and a safe environment, and briefly reviews key South African policy documents relating to health and a safe environment, and then looks at national indicators, challenges and progress within these areas.
Findings from the Indicators of Poverty and Social Exclusion Project: Health and a Safe Environment (2006) Lucie Cluver, Wiseman Magasela and Gemma Wright. Department of Social Development.
