> '...... This paper looks at the major economic and social indicators for
all countries for which data are available, and compares the last 20 years
of
> globalization (1980-2000) with the previous 20 years (1960-1980). These
> indicators include: the growth of income per person, life expectancy,
> mortality among infants, children, and adults, literacy, and education.
>
> For economic growth and almost all of the other indicators, the last 20
> years have shown a very clear decline in progress as compared with the
> previous two decades. For each indicator, countries were divided into five
> roughly equal groups, according to what level the countries had achieved
by the start of the period (1960 or 1980)...."
