The first factor that constutes development in South Africa is Improvement in education and health, this is because education and health is important in terms of developing and promoting growth in a country. When education is prioritized a lot of people get the chance to be skilled and educated, and when a country has a lot of knowledgeable and skilled people then the human capital increases which then promotes development in South Africa. Even in the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement the Minister of finance usually emphasise on learning and culture expenditure as a necessity. Health also constitute development in South Africa because the more people are provided with proper health care they live longer which then helps to reduce death rate while increasing development.
The second factor that constitute development in South Africa is Growth and Structural change. In South Africa economy activity moves from primary sector by means of mining for raw materials like gold and coal and farming to secondary sector which consists of the manufactring of the raw materials. These primary and secondary sector therefore provide income and growth to the economy of South Africa hence it is seen as a developing country.
The third factor that constitute development in South Africa is modernisation, this can be witnessed through the industrialization and political transformation that took place in South Africa. SA has also been modernised by means of introducing technology in schools, universities and even workplaces like administration etc.
The fourth factor is rural to urban migration. Since from 1910 in SA, black people have been subjected to segregation whereby they were forced to overpopulate homelands in the rural areas and this incidence has been depriving growth to the black community, hence the need for a rural-urban migration. When people from the rural areas migrates to the urban areas they are able to work in the urban industries which then helps to improve their lives financially, this therefore promotes development in South Africa.
