Abstract
This chapter compares household welfare – income, spending, asset ownership and poverty -- in Emalahleni between mineworker households, non-mineworker households and non-employed households. It also compares household welfare levels between mine-employed and contractor-employed mineworker households. The results indicate that mineworker households are much better off than non-mineworker and non-employed households, while non-mineworker households are, in turn, better off than non-employed households in Emalahleni. Mineworker households have the highest levels of per capita income and spending, they also spend more on food, and they are more likely to own assets like television sets, personal computers, microwave ovens and motor cars. Their homes are also more likely to have electricity, on-site piped water and flush toilets. Mineworker households also have much lower poverty rates, while their subjective income rankings indicate that they place themselves further up the income distribution than other households do. Furthermore, for mineworker households, mine-employed households are much better off than contractor-employed households. And, as expected, non-employed households are much worse off than other households.
