A discussion of Ur poverty in Latin America. This pop is largely 'floating'; statistics often count it in the tertiary sector. It is characterized by low educ' al & technological qualifications, highly unstable employment & great insecurity. In Santiago (Chile), 6% of the pop lives in callampas (shanty towns) & 20% in conventillos (slums), according to official statistics. In Mexico City, according to UNICEF data, 30% live in self-built housing, 11`'70 in antiquated sub-standard housing, 141/c in 'proletarian' housing, 26% in 'antiquated housing' & only 19% in 'good' housing. In the callampas of Santiago only 2% have received Med attention under soc security; 51% were under 15; & 73% of those over 15 had Sch' ing under 4 yrs. Some progress has been made, notably in developments like 'Jose Maria Caro' in Santiago & '23 de Enero' in Caracas, the latter being remarkable for its high level of civic responsibility. I. Langnas.
