Biography:


David Neves holds a Masters degree in Research Psychology from Rhodes University.

He brings a theoretical interest in human development and the microdynamics of social change, to issues of chronic poverty and rural livelihoods. Having previously lectured at Rhodes University, the University of Fort Hare and the University of KwaZulu-Natal, he served as one of the founder members of the Centre for Applied Social Research and Action at Rhodes University, in 2000.

He has completed research for a number of bodies including the National Research Foundation (NRF), various provincial and local governments and the Water Research Commission (WRC).

His recent work on the Vulnerability, Labour Markets and Social Protection (VLMSP) study is concerned with better understanding the determinants, mediators and trajectories of poverty in South Africa. Much of his ongoing poverty related work is being done in conjunction with the UK based Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC).
