Contribution of the Construction Sector to Economic Growth in South Africa
What is your research about?
Most developing countries have an abundance of unemployed resources in the form of idle workers, idle land, unbeneficiated minerals and building materials. Since the construction sector employs all these resources as major inputs, this study seeks to establish a model for their contribution to economic growth.
