Motives for Inter-Household Transfers in South Africa

Working Papers from Sydney - Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper examines the patterns of inter-household transfers using a national survey data from South Africa. Compared to an African household, a non-African is less likely to receive and send private transfers. Further the amount of transfers sent and received is also lower for White, Indian and Coloured households compared to African households.
