Study notes
The information collected in household surveys, such as this one, is used to describe and understand the living conditions and experiences of South Africans. Often, however, different surveys use different sample areas and interview different households, making it difficult to know whether the living standards or circumstances of particular households have improved. The aim of this survey is to determine whether or not there have been any changes in the socio-economic conditions of those households interviewed in 1993. This information will be used to understand the dynamics of household behaviour over time.

Version notes
Version 2 of the Kwazulu Natal Income Dynamics Study 1993-1998 was released in 2001. The data is updated from the first version of the data release (April 2000) as it excludes two clusters from both the 1993 and 1998 samples. During related follow-up field research in May 2001 it was discovered that all 39 household interviews in clusters 217 and 218 had been fabricated in both 1993 and 1998; these households are dropped in this analysis (and in the updated release of the data), leading to minor discrepancies between the figures concerning attrition reported here and those reported in previously published work, in particular, May et al. (2000). Also, cluster 206 is now coded as urban as it was incorrectly coded as rural in the 1993 released data.

Sampling
Sampling procedure
The 1993 sample was selected using a two-stage self-weighting design. In the first stage, clusters were chosen with probability proportional to size from census enumerator subdistricts (ESD) or approximate equivalents where an ESD was not available. In the second stage, all households in each chosen cluster were enumerated and a random sample of them selected. (See PSLSD, 1994, for further details.)
In 1993, the KwaZulu-Natal portion of the PSLSD sample was designed to be representative at the provincial level, conditional on the accuracy of the 1991 census and other information used for the sampling frame, and contained households of all races. It was decided not to re-survey the small number of white and coloured households in 1998, however. While there were minor advantages to retaining these groups, the relatively small number of households in each group (112 white households and 53 coloured) would have precluded most comparative ethnic analyses. Moreover, the households in these ethnic groups were entirely located in a small number of clusters (due to the general lack of spatial integration of the population), undermining their representativeness. As a result, the 1998 sample includes only African and Indian households.
