Inflation Inequality In South Africa

Morne Oosthuizen

Working Papers from University of Cape Town, Development Policy Research Unit

Abstract: The inflation crisis of 2008 drew greater attention to the varying experiences of inflation in South Africa and, in particular, to the fact that different groups within society may have significantly differing inflation experiences. The groups may be defined according to income level, but may also be categorised according to demographic, labour market and other characteristics.
