The Scorecard on Globalization 1980-2000: Twenty Years of Diminished
Progress
By Mark Weisbrot, Dean Baker, Egor Kraev, and Judy Chen, Center for
Economic and Policy Research, Washington, DC

"This paper looks at the major economic and social indicators for all
countries for which data are available, and compares the last 20 years of
globalization (1980-2000) with the previous 20 years (1960-1980). The
indicators include: the growth of income per person, life expectancy,
mortality among infants, children, and adults, literacy, and education."

Key findings:

"Growth: The fall in economic growth rates was most pronounced and across
the board for all groups or countries."

"Life Expectancy: Progress in life expectancy was also reduced for 4 out
of the 5 groups of countries."

"Infant and Child Mortality: Progress in reducing infant mortality was
also considerably slower during the period of globalization (1980-1998)
than over the two previous decades."

"Education and literacy: Progress in education also slowed during the
period of globalization."
