 Factors influencing grant continuity and well-being outcomes for child grant beneficiariesDebbie Budlender
No 238, SALDRU Working Papers from Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit, University of Cape Town Abstract: In 2017 the CSDA released a research report entitled "Family Contexts, the Child Support Grant, and Child Well-Being Outcomes" which included analysis of the NIDS 2008 data focusing on children under the age of 8 years old who received a CSG. This study builds on the earlier one. However, instead of the cross-sectional snapshot analysis, it investigates the situation for the same children nine years later, as reflected in the 2017 NIDS survey. In addition to the descriptive analysis of child recipients of the CSG provided in the earlier study, this new study explores the extent to which there are differences in outcomes between children who receive and do not receive the grant but are comparable in other respects. It also explores the extent to which the status of individual children changes between 2008 and 2017 in respect of receipt of the CSG i.e. to what extent children who were receiving the CSG in 2008 are no longer receiving it in 2017 and vice versa. This question is important as one would expect the impact to differ depending on the length of time over which the CSG was received.
