World economic survey, 1989 : current trends and policies in the world economy.

According to World Economic Survey 1989, global economic growth in 1988 confounded expectations. Not only was the expansion of world output larger than expected, but international trade and investments grew vigorously. However, this expansion failed to spread to many developing countries, particularly those in Africa and Latin America, which continued to stagnate or to grow very slowly. Three special issues are discussed in the final portion of the Survey: the socio-economic attainment of women; the early identification, analysis and monitoring of world economic developments; and selected demographic indicators.
