This Developments and Trends report has been prepared for the Regional Social Security Forum for Asia and the Pacific, organized by the International Social Security Association, and hosted by the member institutions of the Philippines Social Security Association, 21-23 October 2009, in Manila, Philippines.

This is the second in a four-volume set of regional Developments and Trends reports designed to accompany and inform ISSA Regional Forums during the 2008-2010 triennium. The reports and the Regional Forums represent a new approach to better understand and address the key challenges ISSA member organizations are facing in the different regions of the world.

The purpose of this report is threefold: first, to synthesize and interpret the most important recent developments and trends in Asia and the Pacific; second, to provide the key background document for the Developments and Trends Session of the Regional Social Security Forum for Asia and the Pacific; and, third, to provide the context for the Regional Social Security Summit for Asia and the Pacific.
