Findings and Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Findings in this study include the fact that the standard of living in Asian countries is typically lower than the standard of living of those in the West; however, it is expected that this gap will be dramatically reduced over the next two decades and it is even expected that the per capita income will exceed that of the United States in some Asian countries by 2025. By the year 2020, it is expected that the GNP for Asia will reach approximately $13 trillion and more than 30% of the population in Asia will be under the age of 30."
