Reducing Child Malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa: Surveys Find Mixed Progress

Germany: Beyond the Transition’s End

The BRIC Countries
(2012) For some time now, Brazil, Russia, India, and China have been grouped together under the acronym BRIC. The BRICs are described as countries at the same stage of economic development, but not yet at the point where they would be considered more developed countries. The BRIC position argues that, since the four countries are "developing rapidly," their combined economies could eclipse the collective economies of the current richest countries of the world by 2050.

Life Expectancy Gains and Public Programs for the Elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean
Life expectancy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has increased dramatically since 1950, largely as a result of medical and public health interventions that sharply cut the death toll from the most virulent infectious diseases and enabled many more children to survive to adulthood.

Program and Policy Implications
Life Expectancy Gains and Public Programs for the Elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean
Life expectancy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has increased dramatically since 1950, largely as a result of medical and public health interventions that sharply cut the death toll from the most virulent infectious diseases and enabled many more children to survive to adulthood. Longer lives have combined with lower fertility to produce profound shifts in the age composition of country populations: As people live longer and women have fewer children older people have begun to represent a growing proportion of the total population in the region and children a shrinking share.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports research
that examines the social and economic implications of life
expectancy trends and population aging. This newsletter highlights
the work of NIA-supported researchers and others that
can help policymakers plan for the well-being of aging populations
in LAC countries, as well as offer insights to policymakers
in other low- and middle-income countries.
