Abstract : This article discusses the experiment of a proxy means test for assessing poverty levels in Thailand. It explains
why a proxy means test instead of a conventional income or assets test is more applicable to a developing country like
Thailand where income data are rather inaccurate. The main point of the article is its discussion in details on how the study
develops the proxy means test. Apart from suggesting a way by which poverty can be measured by the proxy means test, the
article also explains how this instrument can assess clients’ eligibility for social assistance benefit.
Keywords- Poverty Assessment, Eligibility Assessment, Proxy Means Test, Social Assistance.
