It provides an expanded view of the world economy for 148 countries with chapters focusing on world view, people, environment, economy, states and markets, and global links a s well as introductions highlighting recent research on major development issues. This edition includes some key indicators for 1999. This report aims to make statistics lively and comprehensive-to paint a picture of the world and its people. The numbers in this book tell the reader that people in most places are living longer, but that in countries gripped by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, life expectancies are declining. Average incomes continue to rise for most developing countries, but some of the poorest have slipped backwards, subjecting millions more to extreme poverty. It can also be seen that the developing countries are becoming more important participants in the global economy. But the picture is flawed because too often the data are incomplete or unreliable or entirely unavailable. Recognizing the many flaws in the statistical system and the need to address them directly by improving the capacity of countries to produce statistics, a consortium of more than 90 countries and international organizations has come together and pledged to increase the resources for statistical capacity building in developing countries. Hence future editions of this report may prove even more useful. 0aElectronic commerce. 0aEnvironment. 0aEnvironmental Economics and Policies. 0aFinance and Financial Sector Development. 0aFinancial literacy. 0aHealth Monitoring and Evaluation. 0aHealth, Nutrition and Population. 0aPopulation Policies. 0aPrivate Sector Development. 0aWorld Bank e-Library.4 iInput this URL in a browser to get HTML More Info data.qHTMLuhttp://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0821345532&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=60e773c112983bfd4925fb82ccd694f77839ef26fbb5c0d7954b72cd3d6c71f6&ectype=M OREINFO3More Info4 iInput this URL in a browser to get HTML More Info data.qHTMLuhttp://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0821345532&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=60e773c112983bfd4925fb82ccd694f77839ef26fbb5c0d7954b72cd3d6c71f6&ectype=M OREINFO3More Info4 iInput this URL in a browser to get HTML table of contents data.qHTMLuhttp://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0821345532&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=60e773c112983bfd4925fb82ccd694f77839ef26fbb5c0d7954b72cd3d6c71f6& ectype=TOC3table of contents4 iInput this URL in a browser to get HTML table of contents data.qHTMLuhttp://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0821345532&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=60e773c112983bfd4925fb82ccd694f77839ef26fbb5c0d7954b72cd3d6c71f6& ectype=TOC3table of contents4 iInput this URL in a browser to get JPEG cover art data.qJPEGuhttp://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DCARead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0821345532:srcdbname=worldcat:fromExternal=true&sessionid=03cover art 4 iInput this URL in a browser to get JPEG cover art data.qJPEGuhttp://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DCARead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0821345532:srcdbname=worldcat:fromExternal=true&sessionid=03cover art 403World Bank e-Libraryuhttp://elibrary.worldbank.org/content/book/9780821345535
