Abstract
This document investigates the composition and distribution of
individual and
household wealth in the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) W
ave 2 dataset
(SALDRU, 2010-2011). The NIDS Wave
2 instrument marks the first
time in South Africa
that a nationally representative
household survey obtained suff
icient information to
calculate individual and household net worth. As such, it repre
sents a very important
contribution to the stock of knowledge on these concepts, and t
he dataset itself also
contains rich information on concepts related to wealth, such a
s income, expenditure,
savings and debt.
