This handbook organizes chapters by sets of policies that are important components of discussions about how to facilitate development. In each chapter, authors identify and discuss the relevant theoretical and empirical literature that describes the fundamental problems that the policies seek to remedy or ameliorate, as well as the literature that evaluates the effects of the policies. It presents an accurate, self-contained survey of the current state of the field. It summarizes the most recent discussions, and elucidates new developments. Although original material is also included, the main aim is the provision of comprehensive and accessible surveys

The Asian financial crisis in 1997-98 was a serious blow to a thirty-year period of rapid growth in East and Southeast Asia. This book uses the Indonesia Family Life Surveys (IFLS) from late 1997 and late 2000 to examine changes in living standards for Indonesians from just before the start of the crisis to three years after. Indonesian Living Standards Before and After the Financial Crisis, using the rich data in IFLS to provide a true-to-life look at living conditions in Indonesia, is an important reference for policymakers working on economic issues affecting Indonesia.

Child heights, weights, and weights given height are tabulated for the Cote d'Ivoire using the Living Standards Survey data for 1985 and 1986. The major finding is the low incidence of stunting (low height for age) relative to other West African nations. Important regional variation exists, but in the poorer Savanna region, levels of stunting are still somewhat lower than in other rural areas of West Africa. Wasting (low weight given height) is more in line with other West African countries, but is far lower than found in South Asia. Several patterns appear in bivariate relationships between certain household and community factors and the incidence of low height or weight. Parental education and height, and relationship of the child to the household head seem especially important.
