Synopsis

Developing East Asia has shown how rapid and broadly shared growth can lift millions out of poverty. But inclusive growth is not assured. This book is about how countries in the region can confront challenges such as a growing concentration of income and wealth, limited access to social services, and rapid aging to achieve inclusive growth.
