    Household Survey [hh]

    Abstract

    The National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) is a face-to-face longitudinal survey of individuals living in South Africa as well as their households. The survey was designed to give effect to the dimensions of the well-being of South Africans, to be tracked over time. At the broadest level, these were: Wealth creation in terms of income and expenditure dynamics and asset endowments; Demographic dynamics as these relate to household composition and migration; Social heritage, including education and employment dynamics, the impact of life events (including positive and negative shocks), social capital and intergenerational developments;
    Access to cash transfers and social services.

    Supervision

    In the interviews for the survey paper consent forms are issued in all languages and the informed consent process is conducted in the respondent's language of choice. For each questionnaire, two sets of consent forms are signed. One signed copy remains with respondent and the other is returned to the NIDS office. These forms carry unique bar-coded numbers that are entered into the CAPI system. Similarly, the household and person level IDs are displayed on the CAPI system and written onto the consent forms so that cross-referencing is possible. Data coming in from the field are accepted as valid only if NIDS has a signed consent form for each interview that produced the data. If signed consent forms are not located, the associated interviews are deleted from the dataset.

    Wave 5
    A youth care consent form is signed for young adults (15-17 years old) by the young adult's caregiver. In Wave 5, in addition to this, assent forms were signed by the young adults themselves.
    Anthropometric assent forms were also required for children 7 to 10 years old. These assent forms were completed based on the child indicating their willingness to be measured as part of the anthropometric module. During Wave 5 proxy respondents were also contacted directly to get their verbal consent for the interview to be conducted on their behalf, in addition to the person responding for them signing consent.
