| This publication examines the social protection systems in a selected number of Asian countries, particularly social safety nets put in place temporarily to mitigate the effects of the Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s, and the reform of the social protection systems. The publication would be useful for policy makers, planners, administrators, academics and others in formulating and implementing effective gender-respontive and sustainable social protection systems and social safety nets. |
