How closely does this match the profile of the general population. On their own they say nothing.
Jennifer – that is a good question. Let us compare these figures to the Statistics South Africa mid-year population estimates of 2009.
The Black population (Black African, Coloured and Indian/Asian) was 91% of the entire South African population [88% when looking at 20+ adults only].
The Female population was 52% of the entire South African population [53% when looking at 20+ adults only].

Michele
I assume the term refers to post-Grade 10…………….FET, etc…..
