Questionnaires

Questionnaires
Between March and September 2005 the Centre for Actuarial Research (CARe) the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) at the University of Cape Town devised the questionnaire which developed from a number of earlier drafts. It drew on those questionnaires used in the 1993 Project for Statistics on Living Standards and Development (PSLSD), the 1996 South African Census, the 1999 Integrated Family Survey (Langeberg Survey), the 2000 Khayelitsha/Mitchell’s Plain Survey (KMPS 2000), and the 2001 South African Census. The pre-final draft was extensively discussed with staff from Citizen Surveys, Cape Town, and considerably amended and reformatted. The questionnaire was presented and discussed at a workshop held at the University of Cape Town on the 8th of November 2005 and slight amendments were made.
