Description

This publication provides updates on Social Protection Indicators of 24 countries in Asia, with an analysis of 2015 data on social protection programs.

It shows progress in expenditure, primarily driven by social insurance and coverage between 2009 and 2015.

Spending on women has improved in several countries, yet others continued to favor the nonpoor over the poor, and men over women.

The Social Protection Index---now the Social Protection Indicator---was developed by the Asian Development Bank and its partners as the first comprehensive and quantitative measure of social protection systems in Asia and the Pacific.
