Level of Development

Newly Industrialized Country (NIC)

South Africa iss Considered an NIC because of its rapid economic growth, more focus in industry and services. Accoriding to the New York times the US and South Africa are not in the same catagory because "t is wrong to compare the two countries. South Africa is a developing country with a per capita income closer to those of Brazil and Mexico" this shows that since the USA, an MDC, and South Africa have differences when it comes to income capita, soical welfare and distribution on wealth. Many sources claim that South Africa only seems rich on the outside. This proves that while South Africa is steaidly increasing in economic growth and HDI, it is still developing and has a long way to go. South Africa still faces problmes with youth unemployment and is decreasng in HDI value.
