About the product

The new millennium presents the opportunity to broaden the prevailing understanding of social development. The Asian and Pacific region is very well positioned to take up this challenge. This publication assesses the prospects for social development in the Asian and Pacific region and examines the region's development context at the global, regional and subregional levels. It also examines the prospects for specific population groups focusing on youth, women, older persons, persons with disabilities and poverty alleviation.
