Questions and instructions
Literal question
Section A:
To be completed for each person in the household in a separate column. Remember to include babies. Please include yourself.
20. Should be answered for everyone in the household
It is important to establish the spending power of the population, in order to measure and understand the economy. Therefore the census needs information on the income of all people.
Think of the past year (1 October 1995 to 30 September 1996) and the money each person received. Please indicate each person's income category before tax. Answer this question by indicating each person's weekly, monthly or annual income. Include all sources of income, for example housing loan subsidies, bonuses, allowances such as car allowances and investment income. If the person receives a pension or disability grant, please include this amount.
For example, if the person wants to indicate a weekly income and has an income of R270 per week, circle 5 in the appropriate column under his/her name; if the person wants to indicate an annual income and has an income of R55 000 per annum, circle 9 in the column for that person.
