Abstract
It is the usual assumption that social security is closely linked up with the industrialization process and as a country industrializes, so will its social security system. Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea are industrially the fastest growing countries in Asia but so far, very little has been documented about their social security provision. This paper examines the social security systems in these four countries and tries to find out whether or not industrialization in these four countries has also been accompanied by a rapid development of their social security systems.Keywords
