Abstract
This chapter has one very specific purpose: to present and contrast a set of welfare and development statistics for the period 1950–85, relating to a number of Latin American countries and the major OECD economies. The selected data are taken from official sources and represent standard aggregate indicators of (mostly economic) development and welfare. The list of Latin American countries includes the three largest (Brazil, Mexico and Argentina) plus six others of varied sizes and performances (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Haiti, Peru and Uruguay). In turn, the OECD is represented by the six major economies (USA, Japan, West Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy).
