SOUTH AFRICA: Inequality not so black and white
INEQUALITY NOT SO BLACK AND WHITE , 8 February 2010 (IRIN) - The growing gulf between the haves and have-nots in the black population has given South Africa the dubious distinction of becoming one of the world's most unequal societies, according to a recent report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an inter-government body.
"From a policy point of view it is important to flag the fact that intra-African [black] inequality and poverty trends increasingly dominate aggregate inequality and poverty in South Africa," noted the report, Trends in South African Income Distribution and Poverty since the Fall of Apartheid.
