A 2022/23 Income and Expenditure survey reveals that black households in South Africa experience significant financial limitations compared to white, Indian, Asian, and coloured households. The survey, released by Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke, highlights the stark income disparities, with black households averaging R143,000 annually, far below the national average. White households earn just over R670,000, Indian and Asian households just over R400,000, and coloured households average R260,000.
2022/23 Income and Expenditure survey shows that black households face severe financial constraints compared to White, Indian, Asian and Coloured households. Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke released the survey in Pretoria yesterday.
The income of black households which averages R143 000 annually is well below the South African average. The average income among white households is just over R670 000, Indian and Asian average just over R400 000 annually, and coloured households’ income averaged R 260 000 annually. Maluleke says, “‘When we look at the gap between what the white population group earns and what they spend, the gap is much bigger, meaning that the white population group has more disposable income and they afford some savings compared to the Indian/Asian population group, compared to the coloured population group and when we go to below average for black Africans, the gap is very narrow so there’s very little space to wiggle.
