Description:... A resource guide to the Latin American and Caribbean economies. The report features an annual assessment of economic and social trends, statistical profiles of regional and national economic performance and year-by-year consolidated data for the past decade on population and other factors. The 1998 report examines the dimensions of inequity in Latin America, which persists despite a decade of economic growth, macroeconomic stability, and free-market economic policies. Poverty levels are unabated, salary gaps have widened and social services in many countries remain inadequate.
