Description

This Routledge book examines how social security and social policy address persistent poverty across East Asia despite the region's remarkable economic growth over recent decades. The East Asian miracle transformed traditional agrarian economies and raised living standards substantially, yet poverty remained an overlooked challenge. The Asian financial crisis of 1997 exposed the inadequacy of existing social protection systems, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive social security frameworks. This research volume explores the intersection of economic development and social welfare, analysing policy responses to poverty in a region that experienced unprecedented growth but unequal distribution of prosperity. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and students examining poverty reduction strategies and social safety nets in developing Asian economies.

Key Features

The book analyses social security systems as responses to poverty in East Asian economies during periods of rapid economic transformation.

Examines the Asian financial crisis of 1997 as a pivotal moment exposing gaps in social policy protection across the region.

Part of the Routledge Research on Public and Social Policy in Asia series, offering academic depth on welfare and development.

Addresses the paradox of economic growth alongside persistent poverty in East Asian nations and territories.

Provides policy analysis for academics, development professionals, and policymakers studying social protection in Asia.
