iPrefaceIn publishing the twenty-fifth edition of South African Statistics, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA)continues a tradition of making available in a single volume, comprehensive time series statistical data onimportant facets of South African life.Data brought together in this edition are drawn only from Stats SA's data sources. Stats SA data aremainly published as statistical releases and reports. This publication contains longer time series that dateas far back as 1935.We have updated data for the 2010 and 2011 period. However, data for this period that have not beenreleased by end of August 2011, have not been incorporated in this edition. Where 2010 or 2011 figureswere not available, the most recent data are provided.I encourage you to continue giving us feedback on this publication in order for us to improve and meet yourstatistical needs.Pali LehohlaStatistician-General

iiExtract from the Report of the Census Subcommittee to the South African Statistics Council onCensus 2001Preliminary investigations indicate that the 2001 census probably resulted in: an underestimate of the number of children below age five;¹ an overestimate of the number of teenagers aged between 10 and 20; an underestimate of the number of men relative to the number of women;¹ an underestimate of the number in the white population; higher than expected numbers aged 80 and older, in the African population; an underestimate of the number of foreign-born, since some identified themselves incorrectly asbeing South African-born; age misstatement in the range 60–74; an overestimate of the extent of unemployment; an underestimate of those who were employed for only a few hours per week; an underestimate of household income; and an overestimate of the number of paternal orphans and the number of fathers missing from thehousehold.In addition: Scanning problems caused some births to be recorded in the wrong province. The number of cases isrelatively small and should not lead to too much distortion for most purposes for which these data areused; however, it does produce obviously erroneous results when one tries to estimate the extent ofinter-provincial migration of those born since the previous census. The fertility data (numbers of children ever born, children surviving) are problematic.For further details of these investigations see the full report of the Census Subcommittee.Tables comparing Census dataFor Census 2001, imputation was used to allocate values for unavailable, unknown, incorrect or inconsistentresponses, to other categories. 'Undetermined' values were used for only a few variables in a few cases (suchas industry and occupation). For Census '96, all such values were grouped as 'Other' or 'Unspecified'.¹ This is a common feature of censuses, particularly in developing countries.
