Rural–urban migration and skill development in South Africa
Purpose This study investigated the effect of rural–urban migration on skill development in South Africa, focusing on the role of educational attainment and occupational development in shaping individuals’ skill profiles. Design/methodology/approach National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) data was used. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to obtain a matched group of rural residents and rural-to-urban migrants with similar probabilities of…
Does instructional leadership drive educational improvement in South Africa? Evidence from Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis
Quality school leadership and management are important determinants of teaching and learning quality. According to South Africa’s National Development Plan (NDP), principals should provide administrative and curriculum leadership to schools. This study investigated the improvement between 2015 and 2019 Grade 9 mathematics scores in South Africa, and explored the extent to which the difference could be related to instructional leadership. Using th…
Untapped human capital in Africa
We argue and demonstrate that human capital services—health, education and behavioral health—suffer from underutilized human capital. Healthcare providers, teachers, mothers and poor people have significant funds of knowledge about how to improve human capital that they do not use. This problem is not unique to Africa, but it is particularly pernicious in that setting due to historically low state capabilities. We demonstrate measurement methods …
‘The nurse did not even greet me’
INTRODUCTION: Universal Health Coverage is not only about access to health services but also about access to high-quality care, since poor experiences may deter patients from accessing care. Evidence shows that quality of care drives health outcomes, yet little is known about non-clinical dimensions of care, and patients' experience thereof relative to satisfaction with visits. This paper investigates the role of non-clinical dimensions of care i…
The Impact of Public Health Expenditure on Health Outcomes in South Africa
Health holds an important position in maintaining economic development since it is both a prerequisite for and an outcome of economic development. This means that health contributes greatly to the attainment of sustainable development and health outcomes. The importance of health is demonstrated in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) where three of the eight goals are aimed at improving health outcomes. Despite progress made by other middle-i…
Measuring Quality Gaps in TB Screening in South Africa Using Standardised Patient Analysis
This is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa. It measures the quality of TB screening at primary healthcare (PHC) facilities. We hypothesise that TB screening protocols and best practices are poorly adhered to at the PHC level. The SP method allows researchers to observe how healthcare providers identify, test and advise presumptive TB patients, and whether this aligns with clinical protocols and best practice.…
