Fear in progress? Correlates of feeling (un)safe in an urban population in Gauteng, South Africa
Historically, most people have lived in fear in South Africa. Fear of the state, other social groups and crime characterised the pre-1994 South African landscape. Twenty-five years into democracy, oppressive government policies with legislated violence have been eradicated, and crime rates have halved compared to the 1990–1994 period. However, many people continue to live in fear. This study investigated the correlates of feeling (un)safe, focusi…
Disparities in quality of life by race, gender, and sexual orientation: An intersectional analysis of population-representative data in Gauteng, South Africa
Looking beyond household income status: Exploring the interplay of income and other drivers of neighbourhood satisfaction in the Gauteng Province of South Africa
Historic inequalities among different income groups remain a contentious issue affecting neighbourhood sustainability, particularly in South Africa. Prior studies frequently focused on the separate influence of income and other variables of neighbourhood satisfaction, failing to thoroughly explore how these variables intersect and interact with one another. The key objective of this study is to examine the interplay of income and other drivers of…
On the empirical study of fertility transition: A case for application of age-adjusted measures in multivariable analysis
Among studies of factors driving fertility transitions, the cumulative children ever born (CEB) has been treated as the dependent variable in multivariable models. Some of these studies have cited total fertility rates (TFRs) in their rationales for investigating the determinants of fertility transition. However, CEB and TFR (which are computed from age-specific fertility rates) are notably disparate measures of fertility. The aim of this study w…
Education elasticities of young women fertility in sub-Saharan Africa: Insights from Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe
Although the relationship between education and fertility is well established, an understanding of young women’s fertility responses to education over time is needed to enhance a critical appraisal of education elasticities of fertility. This study thus comparatively investigates education effects on fertility in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. Multivariate fixed effects logistic regression and direct decomposition methods were applied to Demograp…
