520 |a Abstract: A collection of essays summarizes findings from a series of seminars and workshops dealing with the problem of measuring progress toward alleviating poverty in developing nations. Some of the principal substantive and methodological issues involved in measuring development performance are discussed. The need to develop human capital through programs of integrated rural development, nonformal education, and other approaches aimed at satisfying basic human needs is explored. Special attention is given to agricultural productivity, population growth, infant mortality, unemployment, and income distribution. Measurement issues discussed could help overcome the existing poverty and provide better living for the third-world. (kbc).
