  • The impact of parental death on school enrolment and achievement: Longitudinal evidence from South Africa 
    Case, Anne; Ardington, Cally (CSSR and SALDRU, 2004-12)
    We analyse longitudinal data from a demographic surveillance area (DSA) in KwaZulu-Natal, to examine the impact of parental death on children's outcomes. We find significant differences in the impact of mothers' and fathers' ...
  • Labour market transitions in South Africa: What can we learn from matched Labour Force Survey data?
