Growing up in Asia: Plan's Strategic Framework for Fighting Poverty in Asia 2005-2015

Summary: The 55-page report says that half of Asia’s
families are failing to benefit from economic
growth and globalisation. This is largely due to
a combination of the pressure of population
growth on scarce resources; lack of access to
education, healthcare, clean water and
sanitation; caste discrimination and dominance
by social elites; as well as weak governance
and corruption.
