What is Poverty in Latin America : the impact of depression about?

This report synthesizes country working papers on the effects of the Latin American depression of 1980-86 on the poor. It reviews the economic background to the present situation: decades of rapid development, crisis and depression. The social consequences of the depression are reviewed: employment and unemployment, the rural urban balance, wage trends, social services and social indicators. A concluding section follows, which suggests that the effects of the crisis on the poor are extremely serious; that it would be unwise to wait for resumed growth before reforming government agencies dealing with health, education, nutrition, and other social services. The emphasis must be on targeting the most vulnerable groups in society and on reallocation of public social services away from the middle classes and in favor of the poor
