Description: Our main goal in writing this book is to examine the relationship between health and economic development. Most investigators of health problems in developing countries seem to agree that malnutrition and high rates of disease are related to poverty, but the interpretation of this relationship and the subsequent policy recommendations have led to different analytic approaches. The two main approaches investigated here are disaggregated, sequential policy analysis and structural analysis.
