Question 1
Introduction
The relationship between unemployment and economic growth is a key concern for
many economies, including South Africa. This relationship is typically explained through
Okun’s Law, which posits that an increase in economic growth results in a reduction in
unemployment. However, the extent and dynamics of this relationship can be influenced
by both demand-side and supply-side factors. In South Africa, these factors have
shaped the country’s unemployment rate and economic growth trajectory.
Demand-Side Factors
1. Consumer Demand
A key demand-side factor affecting unemployment and economic growth in South Africa
is consumer demand. The higher the demand for goods and services, the more firms
are likely to increase production, which in turn leads to job creation. However, South
Africa has faced periods of weak consumer demand due to high inflation, stagnant
wages, and rising living costs. When consumers spend less, businesses reduce
production, leading to layoffs and higher unemployment rates. This decline in consumer
demand directly impacts the rate of economic growth, creating a vicious cycle where
unemployment further reduces spending power (Fourie, 2018).
