This book is the outcome of such project, which focused on ideas and knowledge exchange, working to develop a series of papers, and seminars drawing together different disciplines, and topics across both East Asia and Europe. A wide range of issues is addressed, including social security reform, the links between macroeconomic and social policy, labor market policies, gender relations, and cross-border migration. While the information is drawn from European experience, it is applicable to East Asia and other regions, and will be of interest to Asian studies, scholars, and students, interested in social policy formation.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYAGINGAGING POPULATIONSBOUNDARIESCASE STUDIESCITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCONFEDERATIONCONSENSUSCOUNCILSDEPRESSIONDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEDEVELOPMENT STUDIESDISASTERSDRUG POLICIESECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONEROSIONEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE SURVEYFAMILIESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SYSTEMFISCALFISCAL POLICYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTGNPGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTHEADS OF STATEHEALTHHEALTH CENTERHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH ISSUESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SERVICESHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHOUSINGHOUSING POLICIESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DIMENSIONSHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN WELL-BEINGIMMIGRATIONINCOMEINDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORINDIVIDUAL COUNTRIESINFANTSINFORMAL SECTORLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET POLICIESLINESMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMACROECONOMIC POLICIESMEDIAMIGRATIONMINISTERSNATIONSNUTRITIONOLDER PEOPLEPARTNERSHIPPENSION SYSTEMPOINTPOLICY ANALYSTSPOLICY CHOICESPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY WORKPOLITICAL PARTIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY INDEXPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIORITY AREASPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC DEBATEPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC WELFARERESEARCH INSTITUTERURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAFETYSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL EXPENDITURESSOCIAL GROUPSSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RISKSSOCIAL SAFETYSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SOLIDARITYSOCIAL WELFARESOUTHERN AFRICATECHNICAL ASSISTANCEUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN POORVULNERABLE GROUPSYOUNG PEOPLEYOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT SOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMSSEMINARSPENSION REFORMMACROECONOMIC POLICYLABOR MARKET POLICYGENDER ISSUESGENDER POLICYCROSS COUNTRY ANALYSISMIGRATION POLICYSOCIAL IMPACTFINANCIAL CRISESSOCIAL WELFAREREGIONAL INTEGRATIONHEALTH INSURANCE FINANCESOCIAL CAPITALHOUSING ECONOMICSURBAN POVERTYGENDER EQUALITYWELFARE STATESOCIAL SAFETY NETSPENSION REFORMRURAL INCOMEEMPLOYMENT POLICIESWAGE POLICYWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5201-6
