Welfare Capitalism in Southeast Asia by M. Ramesh (9780333687062)

Description - Welfare Capitalism in Southeast Asia by M. Ramesh

This study of social policies in Southeast Asia compares social security, health, and education policies in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. After describing the policies and assessing their adequacy and equity implications, it examines the forces that have shaped them. It concludes that social programmes (except for primary education) in the region are both inadequate and inequitable. It argues that the reason for this is political rather than cultural or socio-economic.
