Experiment in Swaziland: Report of the random sample survey, 1960

A joint undertaking between the Institute for Social Research and the Swaziland administration this report describes the results from random sample survey in the country to reveal demographic characteristics, ( size and composition of rural homestead groups, religion, education, marriage etc) land-use and information about the rural economy of Swaziland. It also covers income in rural households and wage employment and urbanization. Comprises 'volumes one and two' in a single volume.

This document from the archive, along with various others from the 1960s and 1970s, was stamped 'for private circulation'. After some debate, staff of the Development and Population Studies programmes (University of KwaZulu-Natal) have taken the decision to digitise and make them available for the following reasons. Firstly it is normal practise to release once-confidential documents into the public domain after a long period of time. Secondly, the documents are not raw research material but rather finished research reports.
