A Geographical Profile of Child Deprivation in South Africa

Abstract: This article describes the methodology employed to create an index of multiple deprivation for children in South Africa at small-area level and presents the picture of deprivation across the country exposed by the index. Making use of information from the 2001 Census, 14 child-focused indicators were arranged into five domains of deprivation-income, employment, education, living environment and adequate care-which were then combined with equal weights to form an overall index of multiple deprivation at municip… Show more

“…According to the government, these social assistance grants are to assist caregivers to give orphans (in this case, HIV and AIDS orphans) a better life, a chance to be respectable members of the community and reduce poverty. However, a number of studies carried out so far have indicated that child poverty is still exceedingly high [13,14]. According to UNICEF's report on the level of child poverty, it was clearly indicated that poverty was deepening in various parts of South Africa [4].…”

“…Hierdie faktore, wat nou verwant is aan 'n konteks van swak sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede, omsluit toestande soos armoede, die gebrek aan 'n opvoedkundig stimulerende omgewing en 'n algemene gebrek aan harmonie tussen die sosiale en kulturele bestel (Lumby 2015;Maringe & Moletsane 2015). Armoede op sigself figureer nie as ontneming nie, maar lei tot ontneming wanneer dit 'n aantasting van menswaardigheid en 'n gebrek aan geleenthede om persoonlike en omgewingsomstandighede te verbeter, tot gevolg het (Barnes, Noble, Wright & Dawes 2009). Sodanige ontneming is dan die gevolg van armoedeverwante faktore soos lewensbeperkende inkomste, swak of geen akkommodasie, 'n gebrek aan genoegsame voeding, en 'n gesondheidsbedreigende omgewing wat fisiese ontwikkeling kortwiek.…”

“…Barnes et al (2009) verduidelik hierdie ontneming aan die hand van vyf kategorieë met aanwysers vir elke kategorie. Die kategorie van inkomste en materiële ontneming omsluit kinders wat grootword in huishoudings wat nie yskaste het waarin bederfbare kos bewaar word nie en nie radio's of televisies het vir toegang tot kennis en inligting nie.…”
