South Africa has neither a developed nor a typical underdeveloped economy. Too often it has been wrongly classified, along with, say, Australia and New Zealand, as one of the peripheral developed countries, because only a part of the economy and population have the characteristics we associate with that group. Yet its economy is distinctly different from others in sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa falls squarely into the category which the World Bank classifies as 'upper middle-income' developing economies, with G.N.P. per capita in 1982 ranging from $2,000 to $7,000 and averaging $2,500, thereby including South Africa, with $2,700.1 (By contrast, Kenya's G.N.P. per capita was $400 and Britain's $10,000). The World Bank's group includes Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, South Korea, Venezuela, and Yugoslavia. South Africa shares many structural economic characteristics with these semi-industrialised countries.

Mit dem sozio-ökonomischen Wandlungsprozeß, der in Südafrika immer mehr an Konturen gewinnt, verdeutlichen sich auch die Probleme des Landes und durch den ausgeprägten Dualismus werden viele Parallelen zu anderen schwarzafrikanischen Staaten offensichtlich. Zu den behandelten Einzelaspekten gehören: Einkommenswachstum pro Kopf, Fachkräftemangel, Bevölkerungswachstum, unzureichende Investitionen, Apartheidstrukturen, Beschäftigung und Arbeitslosigkeit, Verstädterung, Bildung von Humankapital sowie die äußerst ungleiche Einkommensverteilung.
