    National Income Dynamics Study - Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey (NIDS-CRAM) 2021, Wave 5 [dataset]. Version 1.0.0. Johannesburg and Cape Town: FEM Education Foundation and Michael and Susan Dell Foundation [funding agencies]. Cape Town: Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit [implementer], 2021.

    Abstract

    The National Income Dynamics Study - Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey investigates the socioeconomic impacts of the national lockdown associated with the State of Disaster declared in South Africa in March 2020, and the social and economic consequences in South Africa of the global Coronavirus pandemic. NIDS-CRAM forms part of a broader study called the Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey (CRAM) which aims to inform policy using rapid reliable research on income, employment and welfare in South Africa, in the context of the global Coronavirus pandemic. The study is run by researchers from the University of Stellenbosch, University of Cape Town (UCT) and University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). The NIDS-CRAM survey data collection and production operations were implemented by the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) at UCT. The data is collected with Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI), with data collection repeated over several months.

    Scope

    Notes

    The NIDS-CRAM Survey collects data on the following for households and household members:

    • Demographics (age, gender, race)
    • Labour and income (education, employment, income, occupation, threats to business/income from the lockdown), pensions and government grants, financial support)
    • Household and Social (housing type, household size, access to water and electricity)
    • Health and COVID-19 (behavior and knowledge related to COVID-19, tests, infections, symptoms, health facility visits, health conditions, access to medical insurance).

    Coverage

    Geographic Coverage

    National coverage, as NIDS was only designed to be nationally representative, it is inadvisable to use the NIDS-CRAM data to calculate provincial or regional totals.

    Geographic Unit

    The NIDS-CRAM data is at the country level only.

    Universe

    The universe of the study is South Africans 18 years old or older.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The sample frame for NIDS-CRAM is the NIDS Wave 5 CSMs and TSMs who were 18 years or older at the time of the NIDS-CRAM Wave 1 fieldwork preparation in April 2020. The sample was drawn using a stratified sampling design. No attempt was made to check whether successfully re-interviewed individuals resided in the same households as they did in Wave 5. In the survey, individuals from larger households were more likely to be sampled than individuals from smaller households.

    Weighting

    The weighted NIDS-CRAM survey data reflects the outcomes in 2020 for a broadly representative sample of South Africans 15 years and older from NIDS Wave 5 in 2017 who were followed up 3 years later.

    Survey instrument

    Questionnaires

    Though NIDS-CRAM is a follow-up with NIDS Wave 5 respondents, the NIDS-CRAM survey uses a much shorter questionnaire, with a focus on the Coronavirus pandemic and the national lockdown. The questionnaire was changed slightly across waves and data users should check the questionnaires for each wave when using the data.
