Growth, Employment and Redistribution

Growth, Employment and Redistribution (commonly abbreviated as GEAR) was a macroeconomic policy adopted by the Government of South Africa in June 1996 under the African National Congress‑led administration.

It followed the adoption of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), and aimed to promote rapid economic growth, increase employment and achieve a more equitable redistribution of income and opportunities following the end of apartheid in 1994.
