1. The Asian financial crisis

   26 January 1999

   Analyses the social impact and policy implications of the Asian financial crisis. Documents the severe rise in unemployment and its repercussions in the worst-affected countries (the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia) and how this has, to a varying extent, overwhelmed their underdeveloped systems of social protection. Argues that, in light of this experience, urgent action is required both to relieve current social distress and to strengthen the system of social protection.
