Four factors that constitutes development in the context of South Africa

1 Rural to urban migration  

A lot of people are moving to urban areas because they want to better their living conditions. Young people leave their rural homes to go to schools in the big towns and some they go there to seek job opportunities. They go there because the market is much better, and cost of living is not so expensive like back at home.

2 Growth and structural change

South Africa is a developing a country, therefore its main production is both primary and secondary. As our country is developing day by day there are needed who will work in both the sectors. Some people will be left to work in the primary sector that mainly takes place in agriculture, fishing and forestry and some will end up in the manufacturing businesses.

3 Improvement in education and health

At first education was not a priority, but right now in South Africa everyone has the right to education. Our country has public schools for those who cannot afford to pay for themselves, as well as bursaries for students who wants to go to tertiary but cannot afford it.

Just like public schools there are public clinics and hospital, the government has made effort to make means for people to be taken care of free of charge. Even though they are not efficient as private ones, they still get the job done.

4 Political transformation

South Africa is a developing country, we have many political parties and the right to vote. All parties are in a political race to run or lead the country and each party has different objectives and goals. In essence when we look at them they all want to benefit in a way.
