On 22 November 2013, Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute (SPII), the Labour Research Service (LRS) and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) held a second seminar as part of the project “Constructing of a Basket of Basic Goods and Services in a Democratic South Africa”.

This seminar followed the initial public seminar hosted at NEDLAC on 27 September 2013, and was attended by civil society organisations, the media, and academia.

This report summarises the context and objectives of the Constructing of a Basket of Basic Goods and Services in a Democratic South Africa Project and provides brief insights from the presentations made at the Seminar by the Labour Research Service, the Bureau for Market Research and SPII.
