The four factors that are constitute to development is the distribution of income, political transformation, improvement in education and health and rural to urban migration.

In the distribution of income there has to be an equal distribution of income amongst the individuals and the distribution of income must be fairly distributed. For example in South Africa,  the employees that are doing the jobs that are difficult like cleaning and builders they earn a small of amount while those who sit in the offices earn a lot of money. In South Africa the GDP is very low compared to other countries and these means that the government is not generating the income.

The political transformation it must accompany the economic and the socio-cultural growth. For example in South Africa there is no political freedom and in this kind of manner it won't be able to constitute development in the economy and socio-cultural growth.

Improvements in education and health in South Africa there is an improvement in the structure of the economy and there is a progress in the education sector and the health infrastructure. Nowadays in South Africa the government ensured that we all get the same equal education no matter what and it also ensured that everyone that has a prescribed pills that he/she needs every month it is improvise in the health sectors. In South Africa the government ensured that young people get free education by  making the financial scheme of NSFAS.

Rural to urban areas, the migration is associated with the economic development and growth because in rural areas there is a shortage of jobs and the people in the rural areas migrate to better their lives in the urban areas where many economic activities take place. For example in South Africa many people move to JOBURG to look for jobs.
