The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has a long and successful record of poverty reduction. As incomes rise, the PRC’s new poverty reduction strategy needs to treat poverty as multidimensional, reinvigorate rural development, develop an integrated rural–urban poverty strategy, and include the vulnerable segments of the population in poverty policy. This report delves into the questions: how much fiscal support is needed to finance social services and protection, and how much should be shouldered by individuals and households? It focuses on vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly, young children of rural migrants, and those whose access to health care is jeopardized by urbanization and aging.

This study examines international approaches in technical and vocational education and training (TVET), and determines their suitability for developing countries. TVET systems in Germany and the United Kingdom are presented to illustrate the diverse paths in developing such systems. These are juxtaposed against the Asian experience, as exemplified by the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea. Through these case studies, key lessons pertaining to the role of the state and private sector involvement are extracted for developing TVET policy.

Asia's remarkable economic performance and transformation since the 1960s has shifted the center of global economic activity toward Asia, in particular toward the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies, the People's Republic of China, and India (collectively known as ACI). While these dynamic developing economies do not form any specific institutional group, they constitute very large economies and markets. These emerging Asian giants share common boundaries, opportunities, and challenges. Their trade, investment, production, and infrastructure already are significantly integrated and will become more so in the coming decades. This book focuses on the prospects and challenges for growth and transformation of the region's major and rapidly growing emerging economies to 2030. It examines the drivers of growth and development in the ACI economies and the factors that will affect the quality of development. It also explores the links among the ACI economies and how their links may shape regional and global competition and cooperation.
