Time series data for the statistic Government expenditure on education not specified by level, constant US$ (millions) and country Thailand. Indicator Definition:Total general (local, regional and central) government expenditure on education (current, capital, and transfers) not specified by level in millions US$ in constant value (taking into account inflation). It includes expenditure funded by transfers from international sources to government. Total government expenditure for a given level of education (e.g. primary, secondary, or all levels combined) in national currency is converted to US$, and where it is expressed in constant value, uses a GDP deflator to account for inflation. The constant prices base year is normally three years before the year of the data release. For example, in the July 2017 data release, constant US$ values are expressed in 2014 prices. Limitations: In some instances data on total government expenditure on education refers only to the Ministry of Education, excluding other ministries which may also spend a part of their budget on educational activities.

Data derived from three sources: a) provincial-level data from the United Nations (UN) Human Achievement Index (HAI), b) a landmark study of the geospatial distribution of ethnic groups headed by Mahidol University (Office of the National Culture Commission, 2004) c) district-level intra-provincial income data, we present the country’s first dataset on ethnic inequalities on health, education, employment, income, housing and living environment, transport and communication, family and community life, and political and civil participation. To compute the ethnic HAI, we combine data on ethnic group population sizes within each province with the provincial-level UNDP HAI. A group’s final score on any given HAI component is averaged across each of the provinces in which an ethnic group lives, taking population size into consideration. Thus, a province contributes more or less to the group’s final score depending on its proportion of the group’s overall population. Before this cross-provincial weighting, a group’s provincial-level HAI score is first adjusted based on its location of residence. We know from a vast qualitative literature (and on-the-ground knowledge) that most minority groups (Tai-Kadai and non-Tai-Kadai) tend to live in remote, mountainous regions, hence the government category of ‘Hill Tribe’. We use information on the average income levels in these most remote districts compared to the provincial average income level to adjust the score. This adjustment further depends on the degree income correlates with a given HAI component. Thus, a group’s score may be adjusted up or down at the provincial level before the cross-provincial weighting depending on whether the correlation is positive or negative.
