QUESTION 1
Analyse and discuss the relationship between socioeconomic
factors and relative deprivation in South Africa
The concept of relative deprivation refers to the perception or
experience of being deprived of something to which one believes
they are entitled, especially when comparing oneself to others
within the same society. It is not about absolute poverty or lack, but
about feeling disadvantaged compared to others. In the South
African context, this is deeply intertwined with various
socioeconomic factors that have both historical and contemporary
relevance. The legacy of apartheid, economic inequality,
unemployment, limited access to quality services, and social
exclusion all contribute to the perception and reality of relative
deprivation.
