Abstract: The International Development Reports IDER-2023 include 4 reports: 3 on comparative analysis of 8 Latin American countries for the period 1950-2021 and one report dedicated to analyse health resources and scores in European countries for 1996-2019, in comparison with the United States and the World average. We include a comparison of several indicators of economic development and quality of life in Latin American countries, regarding, real production per capita, manufacturing production per capita, educational level of population, life satisfaction, quality of government, peace and freedom. The averages of each of those indicators in 8 Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela) were usually around World average and below the average of Top OECD countries. Industrial Development, the Educational level of Population, Economic Freedom and Quality of Government had shown a positive impact for the period 1950-2021. Regarding the report on health resources we find that real expenditure per capita has increased around a 100% for the period 1996-2019, both in many European countries and at World level, what usually has a highly positive in health resources and quality of services. European countries show higher levels that world average in the indicators of doctors and nurses per thousand people and expenditure per capita, being Switzerland one of the countries with the best indicators of rsources and general score of quality of services.
