Social housing as a means of upward social mobility

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: South Africa's social housing programme could help reduce segregation and promote socio-economic mobility by providing low-income individuals and families access to desirable neighbourhoods that are close to jobs, resources, amenities and opportunities. The effects of social housing on upward mobility are not well understood and few mechanisms are in place to measure the programme's impacts at the household level. HSRC researchers have begun to examine these questions and are leading processes to improve the programme's contribution to socio-economic transformation in the country.
