Low access to health, education and social protection services has severely worsened human development outcomes, which ranked among the lowest in the region. Since 2011, there has been a sea change in public policy with rapidly rising social spending to expand access to services and protect families from poverty. The payoffs are immense, in Myanmar, an additional year of schooling is estimated to be associated with 6.7 percent higher income (World Bank, 2014a), which will be compounded with better health and social protection. Although significant progress has been made recently, immense challenges and opportunities remain. Policies to close the gap in access to social services are fundamental to inclusive growth in Myanmar. 2016-03-01T19:46:42Z 2016-03-01T19:46:42Z 2016-01 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/02/25929582/closing-gap-expanding-access-social-services http://hdl.handle.net/10986/23784 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Yangon Economic & Sector Work :: Policy Note Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Myanmar
