Episode: The Cost of Living
Description: Our next guests have joined forces to commission research that informs the report on trends in the cost of living. One of the aims of the research is to eliminate poverty and inequality. The report presents analyses of trends between 2011-23 that gets to grips with two complex issues: (1) interplay between service provision, wage growth, and household well-being and finally; (2) how these have affected the cost of living for poor and working poor households. Guest: Julian May - Commissioner at the National Planning Commission Guest: Russell Wildeman - Social Policy Manager at Unicef South Africa
