The Asian Young Adult Reproductive Risk (AYARR) project seeks to make comparisons among Asian youth populations in six Asian countries: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. This analysis examines how variations in social composition reflect basic facts about national histories of long-term social and economic change among youth. The objective of this paper is to highlight the main features of the youth transition in the AYARR project countries, against the background of the same trends across Asia as a whole and in Asia’s main sub-regions.
