Abstract | Part of a series of studies published by the Middle East and North Africa Regional Vice Presidency of the World Bank, this book examines poverty and human development in the region since the mid-1980s... It considers countries in the region for which data was available: Algeria, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, the Republic of Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, and the Syrian Arab Republic. Poverty and human development trends are discussed, in addition to education and health connections, subsidies and assistance programs, and how to sustain the progress made. The book also details how public health and education services have improved living standards in the absence of economic growth.
