After three decades of remarkable progress, improvements in the
welfare of children and other vulnerable groups in many parts of
the world began to falter in the 1980s. This study draws on UNICEF
work and experience of recent years to illustrate the extent of the
current crisis and point to ways to alleviate the effects caused by
economic adjustment. Volume 1 developed a strategy for protecting
vulnerable populations during adjustment. The strategy, "Adjustment
with a Human Face", combines the promotion of economic growth,
protection of the vulnerable, and macro-economic adjustment. This
volume, volume 2, examines in closer detail the experiences of the
ten countries used as the basis for this strategy. The successes of
governments in protecting vulnerable groups in South Korea,
Botswana, Zimbabwe and Peru are appraised and contrasted with the
failures in Brazil, Ghana, Jamaica, and the Philippines. Sri Lanka
and Chile are also considered. The book should be of interest to
students of welfare and economic development, and officials and
politicians who face the problems of adjustment.
