text: proposes that national under-five mortality and illiteracy rates should be the principal indicators of progress for children. The average annual reduction rate for under-five mortality and illiteracy are proposed as the corresponding "speedometer" of the rate of progress achieved. Further, UNICEF discusses the disadvantages and limitations of per capita GNP and its growth rate as a true measurement of development, instead proposing that GNP per capita of the poorest 40 per cent of a coimtry's population would clearly be a more meaningful figure. ¿2/ As recognized by UNICEF, unfortimately such a statistic does not exist for the majority of countries. 45. The 1990 edition of The State of the World's Children adds one additional indicator to the list mentioned above, that of the "rate of progress". The indicators used in this potentially useful table include the under-five mortality rate (including average annual rate of reduction (per cent)), the GNP per capita and the total fertility rate (including annual rate of reduction (per cent)). The under-five mortality rate and the total fertility rate figures are provided for 1960, 1980 and 1988, whereas GNP per capita figures are given for 1965-1980 and 1980-1987. Interestingly, for the under-five mortality rate, UNICEF also includes the required rate for reduction for the years 1988-2000 necessary for stability to be reached. In explaining this new addition to the list of UNICEF indicators, UNICEF states that "if development in the 1990s is to assume a more hximan face, then there arises a corresponding need for a means of measuring hiiman as well as economic progress. From UNICEF's point of view, in particular, there is a need for an agreed method of measuring the level of child well-being and its rate of change". Clearly, and especially in terms of the "progressive realization" of 
analysis: The text discusses indicators of progress, specifically focusing on child well-being and development, which suggests a strong connection to health and education. The text also touches on economic development, but in the context of critiquing the use of per capita GNP as a measure of development and proposing alternative indicators.
