N2  - As a contribution to the World Summit for Social Development, this UNICEF report argues that protecting and investing in children must be seen as integral to economic and social development and discusses the progress made to that end following the 1990 World Summit for Children. Chapter 1 discusses the effect of continued economic and social marginalization of the poorest nations and communities on the normal development of millions of children. Chapter 2 looks at the practical progress made by the international community in achieving the goals set at the 1990 World Summit for Children, and finds that a majority of the goals are likely to be met by a majority of the developing nations. The third chapter proposes that the task facing the World Summit for Social Development is to break down the broader challenges of today's development consensus into do-able propositions and to begin mobilizing the necessary support for their achievement. Chapter 4 recognizes the need to bring about more fundamental changes to implement the development consensus and discusses the obstacles posed by economic and political vested interests. The last chapter identifies the unfinished business of the 20th century to be the restructuring of societies in the interests of the many rather than the few, and calls upon the involvement of large numbers of people for fundamental change. A section of all-country statistical tables for basic indicators, nutrition, health, education, demographic indicators, economic indicators, women, basic indicators on less populous countries, the rate of progress, and regional summaries, concludes the report. Listings of country groupings, definitions and main sources are included. (BAC)
