Workers in Informal Employment in Thailand: A Statistical Snapshot of 2019‑2024

By on

This resource examines data on informal employment in Thailand nationally and in Bangkok before, during and after the COVID‑19 crisis. It focuses on five groups of workers who are mainly informal – domestic workers, home‑based workers, market traders (both food and non‑food), motorcycle drivers and street vendors (both food and non‑food).

The data are derived from WIEGO Statistical Brief No. 43, Employment in Thailand, 2019‑2024: Crisis, Recovery and Informality, by Sasiwimon Warunsiri Paweenawat and Jessica Vechbanyongratana.
