The Social Protection Indicator for Asia: Tracking Developments in Social Protection (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789292699277)

This report assesses social protection measures in Asia, shows how they help tackle crises such COVID-19 and climate change, and outlines the need for more inclusive, shock-responsive policies to cut poverty and spur equitable development.

Centered around ADB's Social Protection Indicator, it assesses data from 26 economies to show how measures are evolving to provide increased support and opportunities for the poor, women, and people with disabilities. Explaining why the pandemic made many more vulnerable, it shows how harnessing digital technology can help promote gender equality and increase the resilience of the region's poor as new risks and stressors loom.
