Society at a Glance: Asia/Pacific 2025

By OECD

This sixth edition of Society at a Glance: Asia/Pacific provides an overview of social indicators for the region. Quantitative evidence on social indicators such as poverty, social expenditures, and demographic trends across countries in Asia and the Pacific helps economies identify where they can learn from the experience of other countries. This volume has seven chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the decline in the fertility rates observed in most Asia/Pacific countries. Chapter 2 provides a guide to help readers in understanding the structure of OECD social indicators. The remainder of the publication presents the indicators in a standardised format: one page of figures and accompanying text, pointing the reader to sources and potential caveats with measurement issues. Chapters 3 to 7 present five indicators each on General Context, Self-sufficiency, Equity, Health, and Social Cohesion. This edition includes data for 36 countries, including the four OECD countries in the region, as well as Indonesia and Thailand, the two accession countries in the region.
