Socio-Economic Survey

The Socio Economic Survey is published annually providing primary data on South Africa’s economy, government finances, living standards, healthcare, crime, education, and demographics. At over 900 pages there is no more complete statistical reference guide to the trends that will shape a future South Africa and this makes the Survey an essential resource for any firm with interests in South Africa. The Survey is published in hard copy and online in PDF and Excel.
