Abstract | This report brings together the latest available statistics to record national achievements in child survival, health, nutrition, education, family planning, and progress for women. Each section contains a commentary and a presentation of related statistics. Following an introduction by UNICEF executive director Carol Bellamy, the commentaries are: (1) Women--"A Failure of Imagination" (Peter Adamson); (2) Nutrition--"The Asian Enigma" (Vulimiri Ramalingaswami, Urban Jonsson, and Jon Rohde); (3) Health--"Unfinished Business" (Monica Sharma and James Tulloch); (4) Education--"Keeping Girls in School" (Patricia Lone); (5) the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child--"National Performance Gaps" (Partha Dasgupta); and (6) The Industrial World--"Beyond Basics" (Peter Adamson). Each commentary is followed by a table profiling world nations in that particular area. The report concludes with a summary of social indicators for less populous countries and a statistical profile of world nations. (HTH) |
