HEALTH, jobs and income disparity are the three most pressing concerns facing South-east Asia, a survey has found.

In contrast, traditional issues dominating the list of challenges in the previous year such as domestic political instability, terrorism and increased military tensions have dropped dramatically, according to "The State of South-east Asia: 2021 Survey Report" published by the Asean Studies Centre at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute.
