3.3 Income and Employment dataThe tables and graphs provided below tell us that the majority of people within IYLM do not receive anyincome at all. However, this could be misleading because youth of school going age are also included in themeasurement and they generally do not receive income. Of those who do receive an income, most receivebetween R801 to R1 600. This is considered to be very low income by national standards.IYLM is a low income area; however, income levels alone do not sufficiently convey the full range of socialcircumstances that people are facing. It should also be noted that many of the people listed as having anincome in this graph are not formally employed but receive government grants which are classified asincome.Chart 4: Proportion of monthly income of IYLM residents by income bracketSource: Gaffney’s Local Government in South Africa Yearbook 2011-2013, p.
