What is development

Distribution of income

Distribution of income is the way in which the wealth and income of a nation are equally divided among its population. The development of the nation requires equal distribution of wealth. South African history of apartheid brought inequality in the society. Inequality increases with growth, for example new tax and survey data suggest that 10% of the South African population owns at least 90-95% of all assets.

Political Transformation

Economic and socio- cultural growth must be part of for political to grow. Political transformation is referred as development democracy. In 1994 South African received their democracy and it is been growing ever since. Political freedom is increasing but economically there is no equality.

Rural to urban migration

Human life is evolving and people do not only depend on planting crops or any form of agricultural produce for their sustenace . People are now migrating from rural to urban areas because they want to better their lives by getting education and better jobs. Most black South Africans are now leaving to urban areas and are owing properties there. 

Improvement in education and health

The development in these areas is crucial as education and health are part of the human basic needs. Education is a basic principle of development and growth. These factors promotes long life and increase economic growth. There is no equality in both health and in education. In South Africa these two departments are divided as public and private. The poor people can afford the public and the rich afford the private system. South African students protest yearly asking for free education because education is expensive. The government only provide a student loan that is called National Student Financial aid Scheme (NSFAS) that a student can pay when they are working, if they do not get a job they remain owing the government.
