进入八十年代,发展中国家面临两大问题:首先,它们必须在国际环境不如十年前、甚至不如一年前的情况下,继续致力于社会和经济的发展工作。其次,它们必须解决处于绝对贫困下的八亿人民的生计。世界银行《1980年世界发展报告》对上述两个问题的前景和存在的困难作了一些考察;并展望到公元2000年的情景,尤其是即将来到的5至10年的情况。 Entering the 1980s, the developing countries faced two major problems. First, they must continue to commit themselves to social and economic development work even more than 10 years ago, or even less than a year ago. Second, they must address the livelihoods of the 800 million people in absolute poverty. The 1980 World Development Report of the World Bank made some observations on the prospects and existing difficulties of the above two issues and looked forward to the year 2000, especially the coming 5 to 10 years.
