In order to meet the developmental needs of South Africa a new economic growth path needs to be developed in consultation with all social partners across several frontiers; which includes education, skills development, national health insurance, land and agrarian reform, residential settlements and urban renewal, environment management, infrastructure investment and maintenance, enterprise development, and public sector service delivery. However, before the implementation, there will be a need for some ground work to be done in the public sector and private sector in terms of coordinating public policy and market regulations. The 2010 MTBPS indicated the need to raise the economy onto a more labour intensive method to create jobs across the board. The economic growth does not assist the economy when there are less job opportunities being created. This means that the policy debate goes beyond the macroeconomic and financial challenges to include the social component.
