‘This timely volume addresses various critical topics in social welfare policy in the South Asian context. Spanning an impressive spectrum of subjects, the work brings fresh insights into gender equity in children’s education, elderly care, and the plight of the poor in urban settings. With an intentional focus on evidence-based equitable, inclusive development, the work is particularly attentive to differences within South Asian countries in light of larger trends of globalization. It will appeal to academic researchers, development practitioners, and policymakers alike.’
