The recent financial crisis in East and South East Asia had sudden and painful consequences for millions of workers and their families. Falling employment and earning opportunities in the formal sector forced them to survive on reduced incomes, informal activities and meager social assistance. The World Bank and the International Labour Office collaborated to employ ways in which they could support the region’s governments, employers, and workers in their response to the difficult social and economic situation.

The story of Australian art is a short one, but it is nevertheless full of fascination and interest. For the Australian nation, thought young has been fashioned by people from the older nations of Europe -- mainly from Britain. Australian art has naturally drawn quite constantly upon European traditions throughout its short history. But from the beginning of settlement in 1788, the physical environment of the country, and later, the social character and composition of the new nation have influenced the course which art has taken in Australia. In consequence, Australian art has gradually qualities as distinctive as the social attitudes and speech of Australians.
