which undergoes rapid economic growth, usually accompanied by an
increase in the standard of living.[1] The term was initially
used for South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (the Four
Asian Tigers or Four Little Tigers), and in the 1990s it was
applied to the Republic of Ireland (the "Celtic Tiger"). Later
