Psychology in the 2011 South African census

The database of the 2011 South African census results provides an additional source of data to understand psychology education in South Africa. Despite the limitations of the data, the emerging picture is a familiar one: Those reporting psychology as a primary field of education tend to be concentrated in urban areas and are mostly White and female. In addition, census respondents are mostly Afrikaans-speaking or English-speaking and earn reasonable salaries.
