- We are pleased to announce the release of USAID 1998: Latin America and the Caribbean
Selected Economic and Social Data. The pages contain nearly 100
tables of statistical data from Latin America produced by the U.S. Agency
for International Development. The tables, which have been converted by
LANIC to HTML format, are grouped into the following categories: Poverty,
Health, Education, Environment, Democracy, Investment, Economy, Trade,
and Assistance. If you are looking for statistical data on social or
