World military outlays rise in most countries says agency
The agency notes the last two years show a worldwide tendency to restrict outlays but in 1970 prices most countries saw further increases. Developing nations, as a group, again boosted military budgets while public funds favored military programs over education or health for 8.6 billion people. In developing states, military spending since 1984 equaled three years of public education for the billion school age children.
