Defining and measuring time poverty in South Africa
Nackerdien, Faeez; Yu, Derek
This study primarily adopted the absolute approach to examine time poverty in South Africa by analysing the 2000 and 2010 Time Use Survey data. The findings indicated that absolute time-poor individuals were predominantly young unmarried female Africans who had incomplete primary education, were inactive in the labour market and resided in bigger-sized households in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Examining the relationship between money-metric poverty and absolute time poverty, the results showed the proportion of people who were both income- and time-poor decreased whereas the percentage of individuals who were neither income- nor time-poor increased over time. Last, money-metric, multidimensional non-money-metric and absolute time poverty headcount rates all declined between 2000 and 2010, but the extent of decrease was greatest in the first rate. © 2022 Government Technical Advisory Centre (GTAC).

Comparison of multifactor asset pricing models in the South African stock market [2000–2016]
Mukoyi, Lenia; Ogujiuba, Kanayo
The quest for parsimonious models has been a key objective in asset pricing. However, there appears to be no consensus on the most successful asset pricing strategy in the literature, especially for the South African Market. Using financial statements from January 2000 to December 2015, this article explores how market anomalies affect the performance of securities in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange’s (JSE’s) resources, industrial, and finance sectors. We investigated the efficacy of several asset pricing models and their capacity to account for market anomalies in the JSE’s resources, industrial, and financial sectors, as well as the applicability of the Fama and French five-factor model. The study used multiple regression techniques and applied stationarity and cointegration methods to ensure robust results. Results also suggest that when the FF5FM is implemented, there is statistical significance at the 10% level for the CMA in the resources sector as the value factor disappears.
