| Abstract | This research aims to understand the relationship between household income inequality and the impact of remittances on child development outcomes in the RIECE Thailand project of 2016. The study surveyed households of children and child development centers in Maha Sarakham and Kalasin provinces, collecting data for children under the age of three and those aged three years and above. The sample included 1,666 early childhood children from 1,413 households across seven districts and two provinces. Child development outcomes were measured using growth standards for children from birth to five years of age, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2006. The study discovered that an increase in household income significantly enhanced the nutritional status of underweight and wasted children under the age of five. Similarly, the effect of remittances alone was found to be significant in improving the nutritional status of children in these areas, with a similar impact to that of an increase in household income. |
