This book looks at the role of social policy and particularly
social security in addressing the ongoing challenge of poverty in
East Asia despite the region's spectacular experience of economic
growth in decent decades. The East Asian miracle resulted over the
last four decades in a transformation of the region's traditional
agrarian economies and significant increases in standards of living
for many ordinary people. Even though it was given little
attention, poverty has remained an ongoing problem. The problem
became particularly evident however with the Asian financial crisis
of 1997 when many low income and middle class workers became
unemployed. As a result of this crisis, the need for effective
social policies and social security programs were recognized. The
idea that economic growth would solve the problem of poverty was
increasingly challenged. Even in China today, where rapid growth
has created new employment opportunities and the promise of
prosperity for many, the government has recognized that the problem
of poverty cannot be addressed only through economic growth but
that comprehensive social policies must be formulated, and this
includes the development of an effective security system.
