The challenges confronting South Africa are monumental. Economic inequality remains pervasive, demographic shifts are happening at a staggering rate, and a range of public health crises – exacerbated by high rates of HIV, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases – threaten to destabilise vulnerable communities. Against this backdrop, the work of the NWU’s Population and Health Research Entity could not be more timely.
The entity aims to train a new generation of social scientists – population experts, psychologists, social workers and sociologists – who will continue to address the country’s most pressing issues through evidence-based solutions. Meanwhile, the gender studies programme confronts the persistent social inequities that divide South African society, focusing on the often-overlooked interplay between gender, equity and sexuality. The community development programme is perhaps the most direct in its approach: it aims to create resilient, self-sufficient communities equipped to withstand economic and social challenges.
