Description Every person present in South Africa on Census night, 9-10 October 1996, should have been enumerated in Census ’96. The enumeration generally took place over the period of 10 October to 30 October although, in some situations, it was necessary to continue enumeration through to December to ensure that as many people possible were included. In most cases, respondents were given the choice of being interviewed or of completing the questionnaire themselves. Demographic variables included: Age, gender, level of education, marital status, migration, use of
health services, economic activity, unemployment, employment and self-employment. Other variables include: Age, gender, levels of literacy and skill; income, occupation, housing situations, land rights, agricultural interests, community needs, membership of community organization, access to education facilities, health services and transport.
