Recommendation

Since apartheid ended, South Africa has diversified its economy and now can boast strong democratic and social reforms. Yet, as this on-the-ground report from Boston Consulting Group professionals in Johannesburg explains, income inequality, as well as inadequate education, health care and employment, threatens the country’s growth and stability. getAbstract recommends this succinct but comprehensive overview to executives with interests in the region.

Take-Aways

  • South Africa is a flourishing young democracy whose economy has grown markedly since the end of apartheid, but four problem areas are suppressing the nation’s potential.
  • First, education needs an overhaul to address ill-prepared teachers, poor student performance in basic subjects, high dropout rates and inadequate vocational training.
  • Second, in health care, the country has to do more to combat HIV/AIDS and to cut child mortality rates.
