Microdata from the Child Labour Survey in Thailand

Most children in Thailand are in the education system, but some children enter the labor market before the appropriate age due to high growth and competition in the industrial sector, which causes the small-scale labor market to demand cheap labor to reduce production costs. Additionally, Thai culture, where children must help their families with work, has drawn attention from abroad. Combined with Thailand's ratification of the International Labour Organization Convention No. 182 concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour on February 16, 2544, which requires action to eliminate the worst forms of child labor according to the objectives of the Convention, the National Committee for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour has prepared a national plan as a mechanism for implementing such actions. To ensure that relevant agencies have reliable real data at the national level from the same data source, resulting in a unified direction for operations, Thailand conducted the Survey on Child Labor in Thailand in BE 2561, in cooperation between the National Statistical Office and the Ministry of Labour, with the International Labour Organization (ILO) providing academic support to ensure the survey results meet international standards and are more widely accepted.
