The economic impacts of COVID-19 lockdown on low-income older people in Thailand.

This study reveals the layers of economic vulnerability among the population of low-income older Thais negatively affected by the 2020 lockdown. Despite the accessible state monetary relief, differential skills with the use of digital technology could create inequitable access to aid measures among older Thais. The findings highlight the need for longitudinal studies to track changes in the economic impacts arising from subsequent waves of COVID-19 on low-income older people.
