In 2010 Jamaica was reclassified as an upper-middle-income country. According to the 2009 Jamaica Millennium Development Goals Report, the country has achieved Goal 2 (universal primary education) and is on track to ensure environmental sustainability and eradicate extreme hunger. The population living in poverty decreased from 28.4 per cent in 1990 to 9.9 per cent in 2007; however it subsequently increased to 16 per cent in 2009. Jamaica is currently one of the highly-indebted countries, and has been receiving International Monetary Fund support since February 2010. It is now critically important to stimulate economic growth and open up new job opportunities. As is clear from the common country assessment, continuing high rates of crime, a public confidence crisis and civil unrest, which in May 2010 triggered a two-month state of emergency, have brought out the need for governance reforms and an improved framework for addressing key developmental challenges. The Jamaica Vision 2030 clearly sets out four national development goals, including the achievement of a safe, cohesive and just society.
