Objective This article examines the impact of internal factors such as governance and state fragility on institutional quality in terms of public service fragility ( PSF ) in Asian economies. Method This study used the PSF as dependent variables in Asian economies from 2008 to 2018 and applied a two‐step generalized method of moment estimation; government effectiveness ( GE ), regulatory control ( RC ), demographic pressure ( DP ), and Human Capital Index ( HCI ) as explanatory variables, with population growth and GDP growth rate as control variables. Results The results show that DP s have significant impacts on PSF , while GE , RC , and efficient human capital utilization have insignificant impacts on PSF . Conclusion Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that DP has a significant impact on public service delivery in Asia compared to other socioeconomic factors. However, with the implication of effective governance policies and by maximum human capital utilization, public services can be improved.
