This is the 36th edition of this publication which gives an overview of key development indicators relating to social, economic and environmental data for 208 countries in the form of informative colour maps, charts and tables. Drawing on data from the "World Development Indicators 2004" publication (ISBN 0821357298), it considers a range of topics including: low-income countries and inequalities in world output and income distribution; population growth and changing demographics; the environmental impacts of urbanisation; access to basic education; maternal health; communicable diseases; gender and development; food security; access to safe drinking water and sanitation; forests and biodiversity; energy use; economic growth, trade and investment; debt management; globalisation and service industries; good governance; and development aid.
What is development? How can we compare the levels of development attained by different countries? And what does it take to make development sustainable? This book offers no simple answers to these complex questions. Instead, the author encourages readers to seek their own solutions by analyzing and synthesizing information on a range of critical development issues including population growth, economic growth, poverty, education, health, trade, international aid, and the Millennium Development Goals. Drawing on data published by the World Bank, the book is addressed to young people, teachers, students, and all those interested in exploring issues of global development.
