The survey tracks seven forms of work-related security which define decent work to examine vulnerability and risk in the working environment in South Africa. Background data is also collected on household vulnerability, representation security and social justice  \n\nBetween 2000 and 2003, these surveys were conducted in 15 countries and in 2005 these were conducted in three countries: Namibia, Mozambique and Sri Lanka. Because the survey instrument was being developed during that time, and for budgetary reasons, the samples and survey design varied. In some countries, a national representative survey was conducted; in others, representative samples were drawn only from selected regions or from urban areas only.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2001-11-15","end":"2001-12-06","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"zaf"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey covered Cape Town, and Durban and Matatiele in Kwazulu-Natal.","geog_unit":"The data is at the level of the 2 metros and the rural area studied only.","analysis_unit":"Units of analysis in the survey include households and individuals","universe":"The universe of the survey was household members aged 15-64","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The surveys examine both objective and subjective elements of people's security.
