Assesses the effects of the structural adjustment programmes and
economic liberalization in Africa. The editors conclude that little
development has actually occurred during the era of structural
adjustment, with a general contraction in per capita economic
growth. There has also been a deterioration in the position of the
worst-off economic groups, especially women. Other findings of the
study include: population increases at levels ahead of growth,
which have increased pressures on resources, from land and water to
state-provided services and human labour; increased vulnerability
to recession, famine and disease; and the claim by some critics
that the programmes themselves have contributed to the growing
crisis.
