This is a longitudinal mixed-method study investigating the impact of parental migration on early childhood well-being and development in Thailand. This report presents the baseline results of quantitative and qualitative surveys. The study setting was one northern and one north-eastern province, each with high outmigration rates. The survey purposively selected children aged 36 months or younger from three household types, based on the presence of
both parents, the mother only or neither parent. The study aims to compare children living in these three types of households at two points in time to assess whether children’s outcomes are affected by parental migration.
