  • In publishing the nineteenth edition of South African Statistics, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) continues a tradition of making available in a single volume, comprehensive time series statistical data on important facets of South African life.

    The bulk of the data brought together in this volume is drawn from Stats SA's data sources. These data are published, first, as regular statistical releases and reports. Statistical releases reflect statistics on time periods immediately prior to release dates. A first level of time series data is published in Stats SA's quarterly Bulletin of Statistics. The Bulletin provides annualised figures for the two years prior to the current year as well as monthly and/or quarterly figures for the second of these two years and monthly figures, if available, for the current year, immediately prior to publication date. A second level, longer time series data, is published in South African Statistics.

    In order to provide the serious reader and researcher with a broad statistical overview of South Africa, South African Statistics also draws data from sources outside Stats SA, mainly from other government departments.

    As a reference tool South African Statistics is used mainly by the following publics:

    External users in research units in the public and private sector, and research students in statistics and the subject areas covered by this book.

    In Stats SA, staff of the User Information Services, which includes the Library, make extensive use of South African Statistics in meeting users needs.

    In view of a number of factors, e.g. new user needs, changes in variables, and new systems still taking root in outside organisations, Stats SA was unable to update all the tables as published in the 2002 edition of this book. The compiler has, however, endeavoured to provide users with the latest relevant information on topics published in previous editions of this book.

    I wish to thank all respondents and organisations for their assistance in compiling this edition of SouthAfrican Statistics.

    preface

    i

  • Extract from the Report of the Census Subcommittee to the South African Statistics Council on Census 2001

    Preliminary investigations indicate that the 2001 census probably resulted in: An underestimate of the number of children below age five; an overestimate of the number of teenagers aged between 10 and 20; an underestimate of the number of men relative to the number of women; an underestimate of the number in the white population; higher than expected numbers aged 80 and older, in the African population; an underestimate of the number of foreign-born, since some identified themselves incorrectly as

    being South African-born; age misstatement in the range 60-74; an overestimate of the extent of unemployment; an underestimate of those who were employed for only a few hours per week; an underestimate of household income; and an overestimate the number of paternal orphans and the number of fathers missing from the

    household.

    In addition: Scanning problems caused some births to be recorded in the wrong province. The number of cases is

    relatively small and should not lead to too much distortion for most purposes for which these data are used; however, it does produce obviously erroneous results in when one tries to estimate the extent of inter-provincial migration of those born since the previous census.

    The fertility data (numbers of children ever born, children surviving) are problematic.

    For further details of these investigations see the full report of the Census Subcommittee.

    Tables comparing Census data

    For Census 2001 imputation was used to allocate values for unavailable, unknown, incorrect or inconsistent responses, to other categories. 'Undetermined' values were used for only a few variables in a few cases (such as industry and occupation). For Census '96, all such values were grouped as 'Other' or 'Unspecified'.

    This is a common feature of censuses, particularly in developing countries.
