Executive summary

Over the past 50 years, the Asia-Pacific region has experienced unprecedented economic growth. That growth, along with better standards of education and health, has contributed to dramatic falls in poverty. However, the region’s growing prosperity has not been shared equally, and there are clear signs of rising income inequality, both within and between countries. Inequality is also becoming more pronounced in other ways, in terms of access to transport, information and communications technology (ICT) and energy resources, for example.
