Inequality is a massive inhibitor of inclusive economic growth in South Africa and, to lower income inequality, the country needs policies that are inclusive of those at the bottom of the income distribution rank or not economically active at all, Amargi Media CEO and journalist Nikiwe Bikitsha said during a Southern Africa Towards Inclusive Economic Development (SA-Tied) research results meeting.
The event, which was held on Thursday, discussed measures through which South Africa could deal with the inequality that persists despite government taking measures to redistribute income more evenly, for example, by promulgating the Minimum Wage Bill last year.
