    This document compares South Africa's population, economy, employment, education, access to services, welfare, and taxes from 1996 and 2011. It shows that over this period, South Africa's population and GDP both increased significantly. However, unemployment remained high around 20%, while access to electricity, water, and sanitation improved but did not reach most of the population. The number receiving welfare allowances increased substantially, as did the number of taxpayers.
