This book explores the characteristics of families that strengthen the family unit and promote the development of its individual members. Following upon an earlier research project on the development of children in poverty (published as a UNU Press book in 1990 under the title "Positive deviance in child nutrition"), the present study examines how family social health improves the well-being of children and how family functioning interacts with national and international development.
