The social wage has wide currency in South Africa today in a political-policy sense but the economics and social policy
framework remain illusive, both in definition and consequently measurement. The main focus in South Africa is the role
of the social wage in alleviating poverty for those with the low or no wage income. It is viewed as an aggregation of state
provided or funded inputs which off-set the absence of wages but is also taken to mean state provided free basic services. These are generally taken to be redistributive and progressive in the effect of shifting resource allocations within society: the question remains whether these are sufficiently so. The review concludes that the absence of a coherent policy framework limits meaningful measurement of the social wage. It concludes that policy choices and prioritization is required if the social wage is to become less an aggregate of government social spending and more a distinct policy instrument.

This exercise encourages public accountability in support of the constitutional commitment to advance socio-economic rights. The relationship between the positive duties of the State in Sections 26(2) and 27(2) and the general limitations clause is a complex one. However, the State's positive duties are defined in terms of the adoption of reasonable measures, as we will see in the following section. If the State's conduct or omissions are found to be unreasonable at the outset of the constitutional inquiry, it is difficult to imagine situations in which it could still succeed in establishing a reasonable limitation of the right under Section 36.

Social security in essence is the guarantee of access to sufficient income across a person’s life, from dependent child to adult with income – earning potential, to a retired older person. This paper focuses on the social assistance leg of social security. Social assistance refers to the monthly cash grants paid by the state to people deemed to meet their eligibility criteria.
