This study explores the question of whether there is a match between past need and present beneficiaries in reform-minded multi-ethnic societies. The results show that in all seven countries ethnic inequalities have declined but that in some cases the gains made had already begun to erode in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Upper-income disadvantaged groups have benefited the most from reform and likewise have been the major sufferers from the erosion of ethnic progress. However, there is only partial support for the thesis of relationship between past needs and present gains. What is also still unclear is whether the divergent phase in the 1980s is an outcome of redressing imbalances. We know only that the re-emergence of ethnic inequalities has wiped out some of the previous gains
