Abstract

Abstract:This study aims to explore the labour market in Thailand during the COVID-19 era. By using individual data from the National Statistical Office of Thailand, we estimate the probability of a worker becoming unemployed and being temporarily absent from work. The results demonstrate that the pandemic could cause a higher chance of being unemployed for younger workers. However, the chance of being temporarily absent from work increased for older and less-educated workers. Each sector was affected differently by the pandemic. Workers in large firms were more likely to be unemployed, suggesting that the pandemic disproportionately affected large firms, compared to micro, small or medium-sized enterprises.

新冠肺炎疫情对泰国劳动力市场的影响

摘要：本研究旨在探索新冠肺炎时期泰国的劳动力市场。通过使用泰国国家统计局的个人数据，我们估计了工人失业和暂时缺勤的可能性。结果表明，疫情可能会导致年轻工人失业的几率更高。然而，对于年龄较大、受教育程度较低的工人来说，暂时缺勤的机会增加了。每个部门都受到疫情的不同影响。大公司的工人更有可能失业，这表明与微型、小型或中型企业相比，疫情对大公司的影响尤为严重。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Southeast Asian Economies (JSEAE) is a peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary journal focusing on economic issues in Southeast Asia. JSEAE features articles based on original research, research notes, policy notes, review articles and book reviews, and welcomes submissions of conceptual, theoretical and empirical articles preferably with substantive policy discussions. Original research articles and research notes can be country studies or cross-country comparative studies. For quantitative-oriented articles, authors should strive to ensure that their work is accessible to non-specialists. Submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process – two reviewers for original research articles and one reviewer for research notes and policy notes. The journal is published three times a year: April, August and December.
