Summary: Social Sector Issues in Transitional Economies of Asia probes these questions. It provides policymakers, academics, and development specialists with relevant information and analysis for designing an economic agenda and a set of programs to address health and education issues. The challenge common to all these economies is to identify adequate resources and allocate them efficiently. Where the economies diverge is in their pretransitional circumstances, the priorities of their citizens and governments, and in the comparative roles of the public and private sectors. These issues are explored in an overview of relevant social sector and public finance issues. Subsequently, leading international and domestic experts examine the People's Republic of China, Kazakstan, and Viet Nam in detail, while surveys of Cambodia, Kyrgyz Republic, Lao PDR, Mongolia, and Myanmar broaden the range of lessons to be learned. This work offers broad guidelines for leaders, public and private, charged with making the crucial decisions that will affect the daily lives of a large share of the world's population.
