An Employment-targeted Economic Programme for South Africa (original) (raw)

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 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.
