Income and social inequality remain major challenges throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Some previously highly unequal East and South Asian countries, such as Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines, witnessed decreasing inequality, while other previously low- inequality countries, including India, Bangladesh and Indonesia, have increasing inequality. In part, this rising inequality in many emerging economies can be explained
by uneven development within and across countries in the region: across sectors and locations, with uneven demand between skilled and unskilled labour, high disparities in access to education, infrastructure and services, and insufficiently inclusive public policies. The first focus of UNDP’s work in the region has therefore been the quality of development, ensuring that it is inclusive, that inequalities are curbed, and that it is
sustainable. UNDP thus delivered US$183 million in projects and programmes in 2013 across 22 Country Offices.
