Develpment with a Human Face: Experiences in Social Achievemnt and Economic Growth

This book presents longitudinal studies of ten developing countries which have demonstrated successful health and educational development over the last thirty years.

All of them have achieved sustained improvement in mortality reduction and educational levels, providing valuable guidance for other developing countries seeking to replicate their successful social experiments.
