AB - This study aims to analyze social security systems in four Southeast Asian post-socialist countries after the transition. Unlike European postsocialist countries, Asian countries have been pursuing a gradual change limited to the economic sector. Those countries have tried to expand the social security coverage and to increase the benefit level, but public social security spending remains negligible. Because political elites in the socialist era have maintained their political power, the social security system favorable to the ruling class has persisted. Moreover, political elites have enjoyed the fruits of economic growth exclusively and have not to pay much in taxes, and thus, public finances are insufficient. Unless the vested interest of the ruling class is weakened, the development of the social security system for the general public in Southeast Asian countries is slower than in Europe in transition.
