A new generation is coming to power in Asia. Where their parents’ lives too often were defined by hunger, war, and revolution, Asia’s youth have grown up in the midst of the biggest economic boom in history. Today’s young Asians are better-fed, better-educated, and have access to the world through the Internet in a way that would have been unthinkable to the previous generation. What are their worries, and what are their ideas for solving Asia’s many challenges?

Through the Eyes of Tiger Cubs: Views of Asia’s Next Generation (Mark L. Clifford and Janet Pau, John Wiley & Sons, October 2011) offers insights into the minds of young Asians, drawing excerpts from essays submitted to the Asia’s Challenge 2020 contest organized by the Asia Business Council, Time, and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.
