- Abstract:
- The AsiaBarometer Survey was launched in 2002, with the aim of gauging quality of life among ordinary people in Asia. Asia as a region includes East, Southeast, South and Central Asia. As a geographical entity, Asia is extremely diverse and complex. Today, it is considered one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Yet systematically collected empirical data about the daily life of ordinary people has been scant and spotty.1 The United Nations Development Program issues annually one of the most useful statistical data collections of the developing world. The missing piece is how ordinary people perceive daily life activities like health, money, leisure, sleep, work, transport, satisfaction with different life aspects, their life priorities, etc., are not well documented and, therefore, are not well researched scientifically
