About Asia Today

Asia Today explains the everyday trends reshaping life across Asia — the way people pay, move around cities, work, care for ageing parents and spend their free time. We cover the changes that affect hundreds of millions of people but rarely make headlines.

Our approach

• Explain, don't hype. We look for the reasons behind a trend, not just the trend.
• Compare countries. "Asia" is not one place; what's true in Seoul may not be true in Jakarta.
• Cite sources. When we use figures, we tell you where they come from so you can check the latest version.
