Abstract
The paper describes a study carried out at the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development to discover a few of the conditions that in six developing countries affected the linkage between certain social levels or “inputs,” such as the level of education and health and educational and health services, on the one hand, and economic growth, on the other.
