The State of the World's Children 1994

The State of the World's Children 1994 summarizes the progress being made against the major threats to the health and nutrition of children in the world’s poorest communities and outlines the potential for further advances in the near future. It sets this progress and potential in the context of three key obstacles to human development: poverty, population growth, and environmental deterioration. The report calls for a renewed focus on the cause of meeting the most basic needs of all children, both for its own sake and as an essential step towards resolving the key problems of poverty, population growth, and environmental deterioration.
