Relative to other low and middle-income countries, South Africa provides a generous set of cash transfers (social grants) targeted at people with disabilities. This article explores the influence of disability-related grants on family practices and configurations, care arrangements and household composition in the Western Province of South Africa. The article draws on the findings of two studies: 1) an ethnographic study of disability grant recipients and applicants in a low-income Cape Town community and; 2) a study of interactions between healthcare staff, disability grant applicants and their families. Findings show that disability grant income is shared within households and the contribution of a stable income provides opportunities for people with disabilities to exercise agency, be seen as valuable household members and secure care and support from other household members. However, conflicts may arise over how income is shared and may lead to the extortion, abuse and neglect of people with disabilities, particularly in cases of severe disablement. Given the lack of adequate social provisioning for those who are able-bodied and unemployed, disability also becomes highly valued in households and the potential suspension or cancellation of a grant can interfere with adherence to treatment. The study emphasises the influence of policy structures and economic conditions on household dynamics and care outcomes and contributes to the sparse international evidence-base on the role that disability welfare benefits play in household dynamics and care outcomes.

南非的残疾、现金转移和家庭做法

相对于其他低收入和中等收入国家,南非提供了大量针对残疾人的现金转移(社会补助)。本文探讨了与残疾相关的补助金对南非西部省的家庭做法和配置、照料安排和家庭构成的影响。这篇文章借鉴了两项研究的结果:1) 对开普敦低收入社区中残疾补助金接受者和申请人的民族志研究;2) 一项关于医护人员、残疾补助金申请人及其家人之间互动的研究。调查结果表明,残疾补助收入在家庭内部共享,稳定收入的贡献为残疾人提供了行使代理权的机会,被视为重要的家庭成员,并获得其他家庭成员的照顾和支持。然而,在如何分享收入方面可能会出现冲突,并可能导致对残疾人的勒索、虐待和忽视,特别是在严重残疾的情况下。鉴于身体健全和失业的人缺乏足够的社会保障,残疾在家庭中也变得高度重视,可能暂停或取消补助金会干扰治疗的依从性。该研究强调政策结构和经济条件对家庭动态和护理结果的影响,并有助于建立关于残疾福利福利在家庭动态和护理结果中所起作用的稀少国际证据基础。在如何分享收入方面可能会出现冲突,并可能导致对残疾人的勒索、虐待和忽视,特别是在严重残疾的情况下。鉴于身体健全和失业的人缺乏足够的社会保障,残疾在家庭中也变得高度重视,可能暂停或取消补助金会干扰治疗的依从性。该研究强调政策结构和经济条件对家庭动态和护理结果的影响,并有助于建立关于残疾福利福利在家庭动态和护理结果中所起作用的稀少国际证据基础。在如何分享收入方面可能会出现冲突,并可能导致对残疾人的勒索、虐待和忽视,特别是在严重残疾的情况下。鉴于身体健全和失业的人缺乏足够的社会保障,残疾在家庭中也变得高度重视,可能暂停或取消补助金会干扰治疗的依从性。该研究强调了政策结构和经济条件对家庭动态和护理结果的影响,并有助于建立关于残疾福利福利在家庭动态和护理结果中所起作用的稀少国际证据基础。鉴于身体健全和失业的人缺乏足够的社会保障,残疾在家庭中也变得高度重视,可能暂停或取消补助金会干扰治疗的依从性。该研究强调政策结构和经济条件对家庭动态和护理结果的影响,并有助于建立关于残疾福利福利在家庭动态和护理结果中所起作用的稀少国际证据基础。鉴于身体健全和失业的人缺乏足够的社会保障,残疾在家庭中也变得高度重视,可能暂停或取消补助金会干扰治疗的依从性。该研究强调政策结构和经济条件对家庭动态和护理结果的影响,并有助于建立关于残疾福利福利在家庭动态和护理结果中所起作用的稀少国际证据基础。
