Income per capita, energy consumption, population growth, foreign direct investment, and environmental degradation in South Africa
This research examines the relationship between income, energy consumption, foreign direct investment, population growth, and environmental degradation in South Africa, using Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions as an indicator of environmental degradation. The objective is to evaluate the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in South Africa. Given the pressing need for sustainable development and environmental conservation, understanding the d…
Human Capital Development and Public Health Expenditure
This study investigates the role of public health expenditure on human capital development in South Africa to promote economic development. Despite extensive public health investments and economic reforms, persistent socioeconomic challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and inequality impede sustainable economic growth. This study uses an autoregressive distributed lag model, a vector error correction model (VECM), quantile regression, and Gran…
Energy consumption, technological innovation, and environmental degradation in Sadc countries
This study investigates the relationship between energy consumption, technological innovation, and environmental degradation in Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. With a focus on understanding the driving forces behind environmental degradation amidst rapid economic growth and industrialization, the research aims to provide crucial insights for informed policymaking and strategic interventions to promote sustainable developm…
Health Expenditure, Institutional Quality, and Under-Five Mortality in Sub-Saharan African Countries
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between health expenditure, institutional quality, and under-five mortality rates in sub-Saharan African countries. Specifically, the study seeks to explore the mediating role of institutional quality in this relationship, focusing on understanding how variations in healthcare spending and institutional frameworks impact child health outcomes. By examining these dynamics, the study aims to prov…
The Concept and Application of Social Capital in Health, Education and Employment
The term social capital has been conceptualized and applied in different fields with different controversial connotations and impacts. Due to the variation in the conceptualization and operationalization of the subject, understanding the application of social capital in education, health, and employment remains incomplete. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide a thorough review of the concept and application of social capital in health, e…
Sustainable Development and Crude Oil Revenue
This study investigated the relationship between sustainable development and crude oil revenue (COR) in selected oil-producing African countries from 1992-2017 using the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimators on panel autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL). Sustainable development was measured with the Human Development Index (HDI). This study was significant for Africa to break away from fiscal over-dependence on natural resource revenue, espec…
Livelihood strategies and diversification amongst the poor
South Africa faces persistent challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality. Recently, there has been growing literature trying to effectively address such challenges as the livelihood strategies of the poor need to be adequately understood. This article studied the livelihood strategies and diversification among the poor in South Africa using two data sets, namely the Statistics South Africa General Household Survey 2016 (GHS) and the Progr…
The Impact of Public Health Expenditure on Health Outcomes in South Africa
Health holds an important position in maintaining economic development since it is both a prerequisite for and an outcome of economic development. This means that health contributes greatly to the attainment of sustainable development and health outcomes. The importance of health is demonstrated in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) where three of the eight goals are aimed at improving health outcomes. Despite progress made by other middle-i…
