Southeast Asia stands out in some ways; the 2010s have seen most<br \/>\ncountries in the region reduce income gaps. Nonetheless, inequality levels remain high, especially in the middleincome<br \/>\nto high-income countries, and popular disaffection and economic anxiety prevail, even while official statistics<br \/>\nmay paint more buoyant scenarios. The age-old problem of exclusion of segments or groups in the development<br \/>\nprocess manifests in new ways. This forum discusses structural changes and public policies to address inequality and<br \/>\nexclusion in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Speakers are chapter contributors of the book Inequality and<br \/>\nExclusion in Southeast Asia: Old Fractures, New Frontiers.<\/p>\n<p>The book provides up-to-date overviews and regional dynamics of inequality levels and trends in Southeast Asia,<br \/>\nprimarily related to income, but also wealth, labour market developments, population groups, informal economies<br \/>\nand other socioeconomic variables related to education and health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr Zulfan Tadjoeddin is Associate Professor in Development Studies at Western Sydney<br \/>\nUniversity, Australia, and Research Associate at SMERU Research Institute, Jakarta.
