<br/><br/> Argues that constraints and challenges associated with development must not be treated as related in a linear fashion to countries' per capita income levels.  Proposes fine-tuning the approach and complementing the per capita income criterion with a new perspective that addresses the structural gaps that constrain the development of middle-income countries (in terms of inequality and poverty, investment and saving, productivity and innoVation, infrastructure, education, health, fiscality, gender and the environment.  Recommends opening up a political dialogue among countries, in order to identify ways of dealing with structural gaps by order of priority, with a view to establishing the most appropriate policy mechanism and strategic working modalities.
