URBANISATION

4.1.1 Poor countries of the world are known as (developing/backward)
countries.
4.1.2 The 2™ economy is generally referred to as the

4.1.3 The aim of South Africa's SDI programme is to attract infrastructure

4.1.4 The process which is aimed at improving the general standard of
living of the inhabitants of a country is known as economic
(development/growth).

List any THREE development corridors within South Africa.

Read the article below and answer the questions that follow.

Despite an economic uptick in the first quarter of the year, another 140 000
jobs were lost compared with the fourth quarter of 2010.

According to statistics released by Stats SA on Tuesday, the official
unemployment figure is now 25%, one percentage point up on the 24% for the
fourth quarter of last year.

The unofficial unemployment rate — which includes those people no longer
seeking work — looks even worse. This increased by 1,1 per cent to 36,5%,
with some provinces like Mpumalanga showing that 42,5% of the labour force
were without jobs.

Economist Mike Schissler said that during the Great Depression of the 1930s
America had a 25% unemployment figure for only a few months. For South
Africa to maintain these levels over more than a decade shows that we don't
understand the problem, he said.

Nedbank issued a statement saying that the figures were disappointing and
emphasised the fragile nature of South Africa's economic recovery. Problems
around electricity provisioning and infrastructure would erode job creation
even further. According to Schissler, job creation is overwhelmingly driven by
public-service hiring.

In the first quarter of this year state-controlled companies and the public
service had added some 158 000 jobs year on year.
