Description

Explore the complex relationship between social policy and economic development in this Routledge research volume. While the East Asian miracle transformed traditional agrarian economies and raised living standards over the last four decades, poverty remains a persistent challenge in the region. This book examines how social security systems function in addressing these ongoing issues. Readers will gain insight into the social dynamics that emerged following significant economic growth. The text highlights how poverty became particularly evident during the Asian financial crisis, making the study of social safety nets essential for understanding the region's modern landscape. This work is a necessary resource for those studying the evolution of public and social policy in Asia and the specific role social security plays in managing economic transitions.
