The South African old age pension is the largest cash transfer in the country and its reach extends far beyond the intended beneficiaries, having a significant impact on other household members. Given the prevalence of three and skip generational households in the country the effect that the pension has on children co-residing with pensioners is significant. While the improvement in health status of children is well documented, the impact on educational attainment is less so. Using 2008 NIDS data this study exploits the age eligibility criteria of the pension to determine what effect the pension has on the educational attainment of co-resident children. The results indicate a strong gender dimension in the impact of the pension, with reference to both the recipient as well as the child. 2015-01-10T13:32:56Z 2015-01-10T13:32:56Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MEcon http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11977 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
