Abstract

The 2001–2002 edition of the Social Panorama of Latin America explores issues related to the Millennium Development Targets and the likelihood of achieving the objectives unanimously adopted by the States Members of the United Nations for 2015. It also examines the region's ability to meet the targets for reducing extreme poverty and ensuring universal access to primary education under conditions of gender equality. Moreover, it looks at the Latin American countries' ability to absorb the growing supply of skilled human resources and deals with the issue of social capital in terms of its potential and the limitations of poverty reduction programmes.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Gender Equality

Reduced Inequalities

Sustainable Cities and Communities
