{"product_id":"9780198286110","title":"Adjustment with a Human Face","description":"After three decades of remarkable progress, improvements in  the welfare of children and other vulnerable groups in many  parts of the world began to falter in the 1980s. This study  draws on UNICEF work and experience of recent years to illustrate the extent of the current crisis and point to ways to  alleviate the effects caused by economic adjustment. Volume  1 developed a strategy for protecting vulnerable populations during adjustment. The strategy, \"Adjustment with a Human Face\", combines the promotion of economic growth, protection  of the vulnerable, and macro-economic adjustment. This volume, volume 2, examines in closer detail the experiences of the ten countries used as the basis for this strategy. The successes of governments in protecting vulnerable groups in South Korea, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Peru are appraised and contrasted with the failures in Brazil, Ghana, Jamaica, and the  Philippines. Sri Lanka and Chile are also considered. The book should be of interest to students of welfare and economic development, and officials and politicians who face the problems of adjustment.","brand":"Giovanni Andrea Cornia, Richard Jolly, Frances Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45742076854590,"sku":"9780198286110","price":7734.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780198286110.jpg?v=1707222482","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780198286110","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
