Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find employment and unemployment data for my region?

The South Africa Regional Explorer provides you with the latest annual labor force statistics broken down by each region in South Africa. You will be able to extract the latest unemployment rate in South Africa, by race, age, and gender but also for both the narrow and broad definition of unemployment.

How can I compare my region with others in terms of development?

With the South Africa Regional Explorer, you will be able to extract variables like: Human Development Index, GINI coefficient and Poverty Lines data. This will enable you to assess the performance within your region not only over time, but also with other regions.

Why make use of modeled regional data for South Africa?

Regional data in the public domain does not exist in a consistent and useful way. Publicly available datasets are restricted to a few years scattered far apart, and definitions are inconsistent; data is aligned to regional boundaries that change over time and the data gets revised on regular basis. South Africa Regional Explorer solves all these problems through modelling by providing standardized data with complete time series and the latest municipal boundaries for all variables; consistent definitions across years; and quarterly updates that provide you with the latest data without needing to incorporate any revisions on your side.
