Interesting paper!!!

At page 4 it says:

"People pay real money for the privilege of connecting with other prospective mates via online dating," says Ramon Thomas, Managing Director of NETucation. "The market is worth approximately R20 million in 2004 and there are currently between 200,000 and 250,000 people who have tried online dating in South Africa." This is still only 7.5% of the total population of Internet users and is substantially less then the 1 million online banking users ....."


1.00 ZAR South Africa Rand = 0.154726 USD United States Dollars (more or less)

20 million Rand in 2004 == 3,094,520 United States Dollars

Population: 42,718,530 (est)
Age structure: 0-14 years: 29.5% (male 6,337,468; female 6,254,925)
15-64 years: 65.3% (male 13,898,269; female 14,017,559)
65 years and over: 5.2% (male 886,801; female 1,323,508) (2004 est.)
Median age: total: 24.7 years
male: 24.2 years
female: 25.3 years (2004 est.)
