Life in Gauteng is improving – but big challenges remain

projects, less material, more subjective factors – opinions and feelings about governance, community, family and individual well-being – are also considered.

This index provides a simple but strongly multi-dimensional score out of 10, where “0” indicates lowest quality of life and “10” the highest quality of life.Gauteng’s Quality of Life index score has shown sustained improvement over the past four iterations of the survey. It has risen from 6.02 in 2011 to 6.30 in 2017/18. This suggests that overall quality of life in Gauteng is improving over time.

Nearly one in four respondents lived in a household where someone – an adult or a child – had skipped a meal in the past year because there wasn’t enough money for food. This is a substantial increase over previous years, and one felt disproportionately by the province’s poorest residents. In terms of public education, 9% of respondents with school-going children reported that they had no local public school. Of respondents who did have local public schools, 75% reported that they were satisfied with them.Positive trends included respondents being substantially more trusting of their communities. Tolerant attitudes are spreading: the proportion of respondents who believed violence towards gays and lesbians is acceptable has dropped to 6% from 14% in 2015/16.

Thank you DA. The ONLY reason things might be improving. voteresponsibly

That is a BIG THANK YOU TO THE DA !!!!!!!
