The detrimental impact of poverty on child development, educational
outcomes, job prospects, health and behaviour is well known, and
governments worldwide have committed themselves to eradicating
child poverty as well as the intergenerational transmission of
poverty. Yet more than 60% of South African children live in
households with annual incomes below $1360 (2006 value) and
mortality and maltreatment rates remain high. In order to realise
the rights of all children and tackle child poverty, it is critical
that robust measures are developed to quantify the nature and
extent of social deprivation experienced by children at
sub-national level and thereby accurately identify the areas of
greatest need and the most deprived areas. It is also essential
that these measures focus specifically on children; separating
children out from household level data or data presented for the
total population and foregrounding deprivation from a child
perspective. This report is a first attempt to generate data of
this nature, to map child deprivation at municipal level, in order
to inform local level policy and intervention in South Africa.
Making use of information available from the 2001 Census about
different aspects of deprivation, such as income, employment,
education, health and living environment, the authors have combined
these domains to form an overall index of multiple deprivations.
The model which emerges is of a series of uni-dimensional domains
of deprivation which can be combined, with appropriate weighting,
into a single child-focused measure of multiple deprivations. This
title is a valuable resource for policymakers, NGOs, scholars and
other stakeholders monitoring the situation of children in South
Africa.
