This industry consists of organisations that describe themselves as independent and non-partisan, many of which define themselves as think-tanks.

The HSRCl's four-year study of street homelessness in SA highlights the way unemployment stresses poor households and sets in motion processes of exclusion, and suggests that the social wage safety net is not protecting the street homeless. Although subsidised housing and social grants seem to head off homelessness in many cases, they mainly target the poor in shacks, and economic migrant pop...

Policy processes are complex and sometimes chaotic. It is naive to think that a rational model of policy making would, as a matter of course, influence the policy process. A critical factor in ensuring that research is utilised in the policy process is to engage interested parties early on in the research process to ensure that the research is relevant, say Charles Hongoro, Yu Ke and Jonathan C...

The main argument of this chapter is not about lack of consensus in definition and measurement. Most people will claim that their understanding of poverty is the correct one, based on logical argument or scientific research. Poverty is a contested concept. The author argues that poverty is an acceptable state of affairs. Something needs to be done about it. The analysis focuses on theories...

South African policy development and related processes were heavily influenced by apartheid prior to 1994. Apartheid involved a variety of interventions and commitments aimed at the segregation of society, the most significant of which was the allocation of public resources according to racial status.

Reducing poverty in South Africa, accelerating development and achieving the MDG's adopted at the United Nations as part the Millennium Declaration in 2000 require better policies.

Social exclusion is a dynamic, multi-dimensional phenomenon.

Many of South Africa's post-apartheid policies and programmes have been directed at correcting historical injustices responsible for social exclusion, yet inequalities remain rampant.
