Highlights
This Technical Note investigates the extent of “exclusion error” in the current Child Support Grant in Thailand.
The exclusion error refers to the proportion of eligible children who are left out of the scheme, and the analysis uses fuzzy matching techniques comparing the socio-economic survey data with the administrative data from the Child Support Grant Management Information System.
