Abstract
The health and welfare of children has traditionally been seen as a major concern of both the public and the private sectors of society. Development of our human resources along with the fostering of economic growth and environmental improvement is increasingly the object of social planning and public policy. A central focus of such planning involves the improvement of the lot of children and youth, especially those whose potentialities have been limited by the inequities of poverty and discrimination.
