Adjustment With a Human Face - Volume 1, Protecting the Vulnerable and Promoting Growth

Zusatztext 'Adjustment with a Human Face should be required reading for economists and others who debate adjustment policy on the basis of abstract theories.'Patrick Conway! University of North Carolina! Latin American Research Group Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung This study draws on the experience of UNICEF to illustrate the current crisis in the welfare of children and other vulnerable groups.
