Abstract
Digital Data Collection in South Africa is continuously
evolving as technology and infrastructural networks gain
momentum with respect to its development. In-field data
collection is critical for any national government department who
is mandated to supply the country and the international
community with official data.
The paper aims to illustrate the methods used by Statistics South
Africa (StatsSA) in collecting household data using a digital
collection process. The Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS)
and Dwelling Frame Project’s are the primary focus areas of
implementation. The paper further focuses on the background to
the technology, its usage, problems encountered, lessons learnt,
software/ questionnaire development, and more importantly the
security issues around the collection of the data.
