9780198286097: Adjustment with a Human Face: Volume I: Protecting the Vulnerable and Promoting Growth

Synopsis

Following three decades of progress, improvements in the welfare of children and other vulnerable groups worldwide began to falter in the mid-1970s. World recession, and in particular the debt crisis in Latin America and African famine, have seriously affected economic development programs in less developed countries. At the same time, however, large-scale health programs have had a noticeable impact. This study both illustrates the extent of the current crisis and points to the successes to show how welfare policies can-and must-become part of national planning even when the economy is in crisis.
