自Aparthotics以来,南非政府转变并扩大了社会赠款制度,以改善其弱势群体的福祉。尽管加大了努力,但仍有一小部分有资格领取补助金的人没有得到援助。人们对导致领取补助金的因素知之甚少,特别是对整个家庭而言。本文探讨了夸祖鲁-纳塔尔贫困家庭与赠款接收相关的家庭和社区特征。我们添加到以前的工作,评估赠款接收在家庭层面上,检查接收的两个主要赠款和分析相关的多变量框架。虽然与补助金领取的关系复杂多样,但我们发现,处境较不利的家庭领取的补助金(特别是子女抚养补助金)较多。我们还发现,需要跨多个领域的特征,以最好地区分家庭补助金的接收。我们讨论的理论影响模型的赠款接收和实际影响,提高赠款访问。
Since Apartheid, the South African government transformed and expanded the social grants system to improve the well-being of its vulnerable populations. Despite increased efforts, a sub-section of the grant-eligible population is not reached. Too little is known about the factors that contribute to grant receipt, especially for the household as a whole. This article examines the household and community characteristics associated with grant receipt among poor households in KwaZulu-Natal. We add to previous work by assessing grant receipt at the household level, examining receipt of the two major grants and analysing correlates in a multivariate framework. While associations with grant receipt are complex and varied, we find higher grant receipt (especially the Child Support Grant) among more disadvantaged households. We also find that characteristics across multiple domains are needed to best distinguish household grant receipt. We discuss theoretical implications for models of grant receipt and practical implications for improving grant access.
