Sažetak
This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
livelihood and economic survival of Thai citizen workers, using The
Asia Foundation’s survey data which were conducted in May 2020
(first round), August 2020 (second round) and November 2020 (third
round). We adopt the Cox proportional-hazards regression with
lasso estimation to estimate the coefficients and perform variable
selection simultaneously. The model allows us to identify the vulnerable
groups with risks of consumption inadequacy. The empirical
results show that those workers characterized as low-educated,
unemployed, unskilled, working in the tourism sector and living in
the northeastern or southern regions are less likely to sustain their
consumption. However, our study highlights that higher education
is a crucial factor influencing the survivability of Thai workers.
Regarding the role of government schemes, the result shows that
that a set of cash assistance programs is less likely to increase the
survivability of the non-agricultural workers.
