Abstract
There are essentially two elements to our discussion of social development. First, we outline the historical legacy, the broad nature of human development and, then, the respective levels of social provision in each territory. We focus, in particular, on health and education. Second, in the latter part of the chapter we will discuss some of the key social concerns in each island, how they manifest themselves, and the ways in which they impact more broadly upon the level and character of development that exists.
