| Synopsis: |
This special issue looks to a new millennium in Latin America by examining development beyong economics - that is, human development that not only raises incomes but improves health and education, provides better housing, upgrades urban living conditions, deters crime and increases political participation. Over 40 years, Latin America has made giant strides in some of these social and political areas, yet lags behind in others. Life expectancy has increased by 13 years, illiteracy and fertility have been halved and democracy has taken hold throughout the region. However, Latin America continues to be plagued by violence and remains the most unequal region in the world in terms of income distribution. Unprecedented migration to sprawling and often inhosptialble cities has exacerbated poverty for millions. The "2000 Report" compares Latin America's progress in human development with other regions of the world. It examines how these developments have been shaped by demographic changes, institutional and political transformations, and geography.The report also features an annual assessment of economic and social trends; statistical profiles of regional and national economic performance; and year-by-year consolidated data for the past decade on population; national accounts; central government finances; balance of payments; external debt; and prices, money, credit and international reserves. |
