Drawing on a 1998 re-survey of households in the 1993 study, this paper explores whether this legacy has been superseded, or whether apartheid's end has been only one kind of freedom that has left households in a poverty trap from which they cannot escape. The evidence indicates that significant numbers of South African poor are trapped in chronic, structural poverty, lacking the assets and entitlements needed to successfully escape poverty over time. 000012667 546__ $$aEnglish 000012667 650__ $$aFood Security and Poverty 000012667 700__ $$aCarter, Michael R. 000012667 700__ $$aMay, Julian 000012667 8564_ $$9b6d8ebd1-9908-477e-8759-053a1ad64375$$s98634$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/12667/files/stpap427.pdf 000012667 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/12667 000012667 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:12667$$pGLOBAL_SET 000012667 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2007-03-08T03:09:21Z (GMT).
