"Elements of the social development strategy would include investing heavily in •the capacity of families. communities. and the workplace to confer impor- tant forms of developmental support to people . . . The role of Government can be to create the conditions and opportunities necessary for people to increase their care and support for each other in the course of daily life." Mr. McLeod. pointed out "The so-called 'new' im- migration is not new.

These families had 631.360 children --of whom about one-quarter were under 6 years of age.
