Conference Overview
The analysis and assessment of the scientists helped to identify more comprehensively the difficulties and challenges of ASEAN in the process of building the social welfare model. ASEAN needs to shift the model of access, build the society on the principle of "people-centered", development by human and for human. "To build a common welfare model, scientists in each country can not ignore the development of a" social-wellbeing "set of indicators. This is a set of indicators needed to quantify the level of social welfare development and social development that can be applied to the whole of ASEAN.
The seminar "Social Welfare in the context of regional integration: ASEAN Model Survey" was a success. The workshop is a useful scientific forum for researchers, scientists to share information, materials, views and views on social welfare in ASEAN in the new context; At the same time, suggestions for useful solutions for the next workshop will be held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in early 2018.
