It covers both the last decades of the colonial period, the transition to independence and the decades from 1960 to the 2010s. The study uses a range of monetary and non-monetary indicators to assess how living standards have changed over time. It examines the outcomes in the context of debates about economic growth, inequality and poverty alleviation which began in the 1960s and 1970s, and continue to the present.Transforming Asia.Economic developmentSoutheast Asia21st centuryEconomic developmentSoutheast Asia20th centurySoutheast AsiaSocial conditions21st centurySoutheast AsiaSocial conditions20th centurySoutheast AsiaEconomic conditions21st centurySoutheast AsiaEconomic conditions20th centuryElectronic books.
