An Employment-Targeted Economic Program for South Africa

Robert Pollin, Gerald A. Epstein, James Heintz and Léonce Ndikumana

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The people of South Africa, and the African National Congress-led government, have made extraordinary social and economic advances since ending apartheid and beginning the transition to democracy in 1994. But the country still faces severe problems of mass unemployment, underemployment and poverty. This study, sponsored by the United Nations Development Program, presents a detailed economic program designed to produce major reductions in unemployment and poverty, and a general spreading of economic well-being, and to achieve these ends in a manner that is sustainable over a longer-term framework.
