Social Security Systems in Southeast Asia: Are They Sustainable?

Mukul G. Asher

Chapter 11 in Asia-Pacific Transitions, 2001, pp 135-154 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an assessment of the sustainability of the formal social security arrangements in five Southeast Asian countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. There are several reasons why the provision on a sustainable basis of a socially adequate and equitable retirement protection system, while simultaneously minimizing adverse effects on economic efficiency, incentives, and international competitiveness, is of major importance to these countries.
