Summary: The book seeks to answer the questions relating to sustainable development by analysing and synthesizing information on a range of critical and interrelated development issues: population growth, economic growth, equity, poverty, hunger, education, health, industrialization, privatization, trade, foreign investment, international aid, climate change, the Millennium Development Goals, and more. • Why is world population growing faster than ever before? • Will poor country economies catch up with the rich? • Can poor countries break the vicious circle of poverty and hunger? • How does a country’s economic position affect its education needs? How health is risks changing in different parts of the world? Will the North-South cooperation help prevent global climate change? • How does government corruption influence national development? The book, which draws on recent World Bank data, is written for young people, teachers, students, and others interested in learning more about global development. This completely revised and expanded second edition of Beyond Economic Growth includes new sections on: • global hunger • HIV/AIDS • international migration, • government corruption, and • the Millennium Development Goals.
