Résumé

Cette étude visait à examiner la relation entre la race , la structure familiale et le sexe d’une
part , et la privation de nourriture comme une mesure de la pauvreté d’autre part en Afrique
du Sud . Les principaux effets ont été trouvés pour la race, la résidence , la présence d’ enfants et
les adultes , tandis que l’effet de l’interaction a été trouvé pour la course et la structure familiale
. Les Blancs , les Indiens / Asiatiques , étaient moins susceptibles de connaître la privation
de nourriture , alors que les Africains noirs et métis étaient plus susceptibles de connaître la
privation de nourriture . Les ménages de conjoints jouvoyeurs étaient les moins susceptibles
d’éprouver la privation de nourriture , par rapport aux ménages dirigés par un homme ou
une femme . Enfin , la présence d’enfants et les personnes âgées dans un ménage était associeé
négativement à la privation de nourriture , une constatation qui soutient le point de vue que
la plupart des familles pauvres dans le pays dépendant des aides sociales pour les enfants et les
personnes âgées pour la survie .
