Asia/Pacific 2014 : Society at a glance

This edition of Society at a Glance Asia/Pacific, a regularly updated OECD overview of social indicators, addresses the growing demand for quantitative evidence on social well-being and its trends. This report starts with an introductory chapter providing a guide to help readers understanding the OECD Social Indicator framework. Chapters 2 and 3 are special thematic chapters to address two increasingly topical issues in the social debate: gender equality in education, employment and entrepreneurship and social protection expenditure.
Other chapters provide indicators covering the general context, self-sufficiency, equity, health and social cohesion.
