Abstract | The Simple Poverty Scorecard®-brand poverty-assessment tool uses 12 low-cost indicators from South Africa’s 2014/15 National Income Dynamics Survey (NIDS) to estimate the likelihood that an African or Coloured household has consumption below a given poverty line. Field workers can collect responses in about 10 minutes. Accuracy is reported for a range of poverty lines. The scorecard is a practical way for pro-poor programs in South Africa to estimate poverty rates, to track changes in poverty rates over time, and to segment clients for differentiated treatment. |
