The purpose of this paper is to discuss LMPs in the context of social protection in Asia. Many Asian countries, whether industrialized, developing or in transition to a market economy, did not dispose until recently of proper social protection institutions comparable to those existing in Europe or North-America. The Russian and South-East Asian crises of the late 1990s brought about two major challenges: How to protect the main victims of the cur- rent crises and how to establish permanent social protection institutions able to avoid major forms of destitution in the future. The paper looks at these two aspects from a LMPs per- spective attempting to highlight issues and dilemmas that policy makers are likely to be con- fronted with.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss LMPs in the context of social protection in Asia. Many Asian countries, whether industrialized, developing or in transition to a market economy, did not dispose until recently of proper social protection institutions comparable to those existing in Europe or North-America. The Russian and South-East Asian crises of the late 1990s brought about two major challenges: How to protect the main victims of the cur- rent crises and how to establish permanent social protection institutions able to avoid major forms of destitution in the future. The paper looks at these two aspects from a LMPs per- spective attempting to highlight issues and dilemmas that policy makers are likely to be con- fronted with.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
