The State of the World's Children 1990 report concentrates specifically on child survival and development, conventional views on the rights of the child, and the need to maintain a human approach in dealing with the processes of economic adjustment facing almost all nations, rich and poor, in the decade ahead. The report also contains a series of brief "advocacy essays" on primary health care, basic education for all, improving child nutrition, measuring human development, and the ever-present question of how changes in child survival rates relate to population growth. James P. Grant, Executive Director of UNICEF, will present the report directly to the Heads of State participating in the Summit Meeting for Children, scheduled for early 1990. Everyone concerned with developmental issues and particularly those relating to children will find this report essential reading.
