Some aspects of the Carnegie Conference, University of Cape Town, 13‐19 April 1984

Abstract

Six topics which received much attention at the Carnegie Conference are reviewed in this paper, selected because the papers which discussed these topics, had a predominantly analytical and macro orientation. The 14 papers which are reviewed, discuss the problems of measuring poverty, the role of influx control and relocation in creating or perpetuating poverty, education and poverty, mortality, fertility and poverty, approaches and barriers to the reduction of rural poverty, and the basic needs approach.
