Chapter Chapter 2 in Labor Markets in Asia, 2006, pp 21-62 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an overview of labor market outcomes in developing Asia. Comparing labor market outcomes across Asian countries is not as straightforward as it may seem. While virtually all countries in the region carry out labor force surveys—the single best source for most labor market data—surveys differ in frequency, coverage, scope, and definitions of labor market variables. But the available data do allow a broad understanding of the conditions of labor markets in the region. Common labor market terms are defined in Box 2.1.
