Description of data:

ranks 40/40 countries for household net adjusted disposable income

much lower than OECD average of USD $33,604

Large levels of inequality between rich and poor - score of 37.64

What the data suggests about well-being:

Higher income = greater access to good quality education, healthcare and housing.

South Africa's low income and high inequality suggest poor quality of life

Internal Factors:

Many people participate in the informal economy so quality of jobs and access to training is low leading to low income

Top 20% of the population holds over 68% of income

The bottom 40% of the population holds 7% of income

External Factors:

Long legacy of exclusion due to apartheid which began in 1948
