This book presents longitudinal studies of ten developing countries which have demonstrated successful health and educational development over the last thirty years. Half of them have combined rapid growth with social achievement, others slower and interrrupted growth coupled with periods of economic decline. 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.
