And it still neglects that Chile was a head of Cuba at the time and doesn't explain why Cuba leap frogged Chile (I'm fully open to that possibility). The report does say that Cuba made extremely good reductions in poverty in a 4 year period but it'd be wrong to take that one sentence and extrapolate.

For what it's worth I eagerly look for UNICEF reports and when I went to the UNICEF page and there wasn't actually a new report it got me digging. Reports like that tend to cross my radar. The latest big report I can think of is the Ethos Poverty Index but it doesn't include Cuba.
