Book Description
Most Asian and Pacific economies showed surprising strength in 2002, despitecontinued weaknesses in the world economy. Surging intraregional trade, combined with fiscal stimulus and monetary easing, lifted regional production by approximately 5 percent, 2 points higher than the 2001 rate, and more than 3 points higher than the expansion of global output in 2002. This has raised hopes that the region would experience a modest uplift in economic growth in 2003. Still, the rate of economic expansion was several percentage points below that which prevailed before the crisis of 1997-1998, resulting in lower levels of job creation and new pressures on government budgets, including fiscal allocations for basic social services and poverty reduction.This edition of the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific includes an in-depth look at the efforts of the public sector in education and health, in particular to reach women, the poor, people living in rural and remote areas and others to whom greater attention must be paid. Given the large resources required for this, the responsibility for funding cannot be that of the public sector alone but as the Survey indicates, channels that involve civil society and the private sector have to be tapped.The Survey also focuses on environmental degradation, which often accompanies rapid economic growth and adversely affects the lives of the poor in a disproportionate manner. In recognition of these tensions, the Survey examines the links between the environment and poverty as well as the policy options available for improving the environment while reducing poverty. It recommends actions that will help to ensure property rights for the poor, improve access to affordable, environmentally clean technologies and reduce vulnerability to natural disasters through better disaster-management planning.

Book Description
The annual Survey provides an extensive annual review of current economic and social trends within the Asian region and analyzes these developments against the background of events in the world economy. This publication is invaluable to every multinational corporation intending to expand their business in Asia or to invest in the region. Please note: This issue of the Survey, published in 1995, has been titled 'Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 1995'. It marks a break with the past practice of using the year preceding the actual year of publication in the title. Hence there will be no issue of the Survey under the title 'Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 1994.'

Book Description
This edition of the yearly survey examines regional economic and social developments in the Asia and the Pacific region during 2004. During this period, the region withstood a wide spectrum of shocks including the tsunami disaster of December 2004, although in the same year it saw the fastest economic growth in four years with broad-based growth accompanied in most cases by low inflation. This year's survey also examines the dynamics of population ageing, with a special focus on how the region, particularly developing economies, can respond to this challenge.
