Sub-project data on the Survey of Child Labour in Thailand

Most children in Thailand are in the education system, but some children enter the labor market before the appropriate age due to rapid industrial growth and competition, which increases the demand for cheap labor to reduce production costs. Additionally, Thai culture, where children are expected to help their families with work, has drawn international attention. Thailand ratified ILO Convention No. 182 concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour on 16 February 2544. This requires action to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in accordance with the objectives of the Convention. The National Committee for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour has developed a national action plan as a mechanism for implementation. To ensure that relevant agencies have reliable, real data from a single source, leading to a unified direction of operations, Thailand conducted the Survey on Child Labour in Thailand, 2561. This was a collaboration between the National Statistical Office and the Ministry of Labour, with technical support from the International Labour Organization (ILO) to ensure the survey results met international standards and were widely accepted.
