Global Issue of Social Welfare Sector

The progress of living standards due to globalization is


remarkable (see Baasir, 2003; UNDP, 2002: 13). The accumulation
of world wealth in the period 1986-2000 jumped four-fold, from
7.2 trillion US dollars to 27 trillion US dollars.But on the other
hand, globalization has also brought new suffering to the world.
The portrait of progress above is mostly experienced by
developed countries. While living conditions in developing
countries are still or even more underdeveloped. As reported by
UNDP (2002: 13), "The discovery of new technologies and
enhancement of economic integration has opened up
tremendous global economic opportunities. But behind the
prosperity commonly experienced by developed countries, there
are still 2.8 billion people living on less than 2 US dollars per
day. A girl born in Japan today has a 50 percent chance of
staring at the 22nd century, while 1 in 4 newborn babies in
Afghanistan will likely never celebrate her fifth birthday (UNDP,
2002: 1-13). This shows the high level of poverty and death in
ASEAN.

As an Asean society, whats your solution for the problem?
