Overview

Abstract

The purpose of the Ageing, Wellbeing and Development Project (Brazza2) was to investigate the impact on poverty and vulnerability within beneficiary households in Brazil and South Africa of grants, social pensions and the like. The survey aimed to help researchers interrogate the extent to which social assistance was enhancing quality of life, and whether income from old-age pensions and other social grants enhanced the material and perceived well-being of social pensioners and members of households.The study also inquired into perceptions of fortune and misfortune, to provide clues to the role of social assistance in boosting poorer households' resilience and their independence from the State.
