[경제] The economic context of realizing socioeconomic rights in South Africa
남아프리카공화국 국외연구자료 연구보고서 - UNU WIDER 발간일 : 2023-10-01 등록일 : 2024-01-05 원문링크
The South African constitution is
considered progressive and transformative in intention due to its inclusion of
socioeconomic rights, such as the right to education, land, food, and
healthcare.
However, some of these rights are qualified
by the availability of resources to the state, which places an imperative on
the state to realize these rights progressively as resources become available.
The deteriorating economy, low economic
growth, and worsening public finances have led to increasing pressure on the
government to cut its expenditure to regain fiscal sustainability and stem the
growth of the government’s debt burden.
This threatens to roll back the progressive
realization of socioeconomic rights, a phenomenon known as retrogression. A
range of individuals and organizations oppose the cut-back of expenditure.
The paper addresses how the government
should reconcile the imperative placed on it by the constitution to realize
socioeconomic rights with limited and shrinking resources available to do so.
