Preliminary Findings from the Qualitative Stage of the Indicators of Poverty and Social Exclusion Project

Abstract

This report aims to communicate some preliminary findings from the qualitative phase of the Indicators of Poverty and Social Exclusion (IPSE) project in South Africa.

Over 50 focus groups have taken place across South Africa with men and women from a range of income, race, and language groups. The report presents an overview of the first insights emerging from this fieldwork. These findings must be viewed with some caution as they emerge from a first phase of qualitative analysis and should be treated as tentative conclusions because of this. The issues emerging should, however, provide an interesting addition to other social research on poverty and social exclusion.
