National Income Dynamics Study-Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey

The National Income Dynamics Study-Coronavirus Rapid Mobile (NIDS-CRAM) Survey was a telephonic follow up survey of a sub-sample of household residents from NIDS Wave 5 (2017) that was conducted during the pandemic period in South Africa in 2020-2021. The survey collected data on employment, hunger, migration, grant-receipt, and demographics, as well as COVID-19 risk perceptions and behaviour. The survey data will provide policy-makers and the public with rapid, reliable panel data on key measures of individual and household welfare.
