The Rise of Asia’s Middle Class

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has published a special chapter in Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2010, titled “The Rise of Asia’s Middle Class”. The study examines the rapid growth of Asia’s middle class, how the poor advance to the middle class, factors that characterize the middle class, and pathways through which they become effective contributors to growth and poverty reduction in the region.

The report found that Asia’s consumers spent about one-third of the total OECD consumption expenditure in 2008 and by 2030 will spend $32 trillion, comprising about 43 percent of worldwide consumption.

Lastly, it is worth noting that a significant number of Asia’s new middle class individuals still get by on incomes just above poverty levels, leaving them vulnerable to a relapse into poverty.

The report is available from the AT Kearney website.
