Examining in closer detail the experiences of the ten countries that form the basis of the strategy developed in Volume 1, this volume appraises and contrasts the successes of South Korea, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Peru with the failures of Brazil, Ghana, Jamaica, and the Philippines in protecting vulnerable populations--children and infants--during economic adjustment. Sri Lanka and Chile are also considered.
