Abstract
The chapters in this book comprises of the edited and updated versions of the background papers presented at the 6 South Asia Economic Summit (SAES) held in Colombo in 2013. The chapters include, 'Demographic Change, Brain Drain, and Human Capital: Development Potentials in Services-Driven South Asia' prepared by the RIS (India), 'Managing Climate Change, Water Resources and Food Security in South Asia' prepared by SAWTEE (Nepal), 'Managing Intra-Country Growth Disparities in South Asia' prepared by SDPI (Pakistan), and 'Development of the Private Sector in South Asia: Addressing the Challenges for Building Competitiveness' prepared by

The purpose of this edited volume is to highlight the significance of these issues, and to discuss ways in which the South Asian economies may begin - both individually and collectively - to address them, thereby best positioning the region to achieve sustained and inclusive growth in the future and usher in an era of greater prosperity for its people.
