Resumen
Una de las pocas predicciones seguras que puede hacerse acerca de los
resultados de los programas de desarrollo económico y social, es que
algunas de sus consecuencias no pueden ser anticipadas por los planificadores sociales. Muchas de estas consecuencias inesperadas serán
de menor importancia relativa, pero otras serán en un momento considerables,
a veces trascendiendo los efectos pretendidos por el programa. El caso en
estudio es el incremento acelerado de la población en la mayoría de los países
de América Latina y el Caribe, seguido de los esfuerzos de desarrollo inicial
posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La mayoría de los programas de
desarrollo de este período y aquellos que le siguieron, incluyeron proyectos de
salud pública que contribuyeron a una dramática reducción de la mortalidad. A
pesar de que se dio un rápido crecimiento poblacional, casi la mayoría de los
países experimentó grandes ganancias económicas y la productividad per cápita
fue retardada o aun reducida.
Las consecuencias no anticipadas del desarrollo son inevitables, porque
los planes y programas no toman en consideración todos los factores involucrados
en una situación compleja. Algunas omisiones, sin embargo, resultan de una
muy estrecha formulación del proceso de desarrollo. Afortunadamente, es
posible, en general, tomar acciones remediales apropiadas cuando las consecuencias del desarrollo son imprevistas e indeseables e incorporar el conocimiento causa-efecto en los planes de desarrollo subsecuentes.
One of the few safe predictions that can be made about results of economic and social development programs, is that Some of the consequences cannot be anticipated by social planners. Many of these unexpected consequences will be of lesser relative importance, but others will be in a considerable moment, sometimes transcending the intended effects of the program. The case in study is the rapid increase in population in most countries Latin America and the Caribbean, followed by initial development efforts after World War II. Most of the programs of development of this period and those that followed, included projects of public health that contributed to a dramatic reduction in mortality. A Although there was a rapid population growth, almost all of the countries experienced large economic gains and per capita productivity was delayed or even reduced. The unanticipated consequences of development are inevitable, because plans and programs do not take into consideration all factors involved in a complex situation. Some omissions, however, result from a very close formulation of the development process. Fortunately, it is It is generally possible to take appropriate remedial action when the consequences of development are unforeseen and undesirable and to incorporate cause-effect knowledge into subsequent development plans.
