In its 1998report the UNDP noted for the first time that vast numbers of people in Western countries are in poverty. In developedcountries, it noted, more than 37 million people are unemployed, 100 million people are homeless, and 100 million arebelow the poverty line. Unevenness within such countries is also becoming more pronounced. One US governmentofficial has admitted, 'A child born in New York in the 1990s is less likely to live to the age of five than a child inShanghai. A child born in Bangladesh has better life expectancy than a child born in Harlem.' He warned of theconsequences if such problems were not tackled (L Summers, US Deputy Treasury Secretary, quoted in The Independent,10 February 1998).150 K Moody, Workers in a Lean World (London, 1997), p186.151 Ibid, p209.152 J Gray, op cit, p207.
