This is observed, at the same time and contrastly, as a raising inequality to social matters, and to a so bad income distribution. On the other hand, during the 80s, a time known as "The lost decade" or an economic estagnationjt's seen a diferent gap, wich is marked by a remarkable progress of some social indicators on the 60, despite of delay wich was a feature to the decade, such as the life expectancy that improves greatly in the 80s, comparing to the 70s, as the illiterate percentage and number of inhabitants per doctor. Concerningto the child mortality rates, what is observed is a decrease to about half of the rates checked in 1970.
