South Africa has a [[mixed economy]], the second largest in Africa after [[Nigeria]]. It also has a relatively high [[gross domestic product]] (GDP) per capita compared to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa (US$11,750 at [[purchasing power parity]] as of 2012). Despite this, South Africa is still burdened by a relatively high rate of poverty and unemployment, and is also ranked in the top ten countries in the world for [[income inequality]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hdrstats.undp.org/en/indicators/161.html |title=Inequality in income or expenditure / Gini index, Human Development Report 2007/08 |publisher=Hdrstats.undp.org |date=4 November 2010 |accessdate=26 June 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116234423/http://hdrstats.undp.org/en/indicators/161.html |archivedate=16 January 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2172.html |title=Distribution of family income – Gini index |publisher=Cia.gov |accessdate=26 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iol.co.za/business/business-news/south-africa-has-widest-gap-between-rich-and-poor-1.707558 |title=South Africa has highest gap between rich and poor |publisher=Business Report |date=28 September 2009 |accessdate=7 November 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111023162404/http://www.iol.co.za/business/business-news/south-africa-has-widest-gap-between-rich-and-poor-1.707558 |archivedate=23 October 2011 }}</ref> measured by the [[Gini coefficient]].
