ABSTRACT
Background:
This study analysed determinants of vulnerability to poverty in South Africa utilising the General Household Surveys from 2012 to 2015.Data source andmethods:
The Foster Greere Thorbecke poverty index by groups and income components using the Shapley Value was used to identify household vulnerability status. A multinomial logit model was used to investigate factors that contribute to vulnerability to poverty.Results:
The study findings pointed out that high-income variability contributes to vulnerability and poverty among urban and rural areas.Additionally, the findings of the study demonstrated that only a few households fall in the middle (lower bound) poverty lines.Conclusions:
Race and location are strong predictors of poverty in South Africa
