This study examines the relationships between young Thai women's and men's experiences of economic difficulties due to the economic crisis and their desires for marriage and children, using data from a recent national survey on the economic crisis and demographic and family dynamics.The study found that the experiences of economic hardships due to the crisis were widespread among Thai women and men in their s and s, although there were considerable gender, regional, and urban-rural differences in the extent of experiencing such hardships.Our multivariate analyses reveal that the effects of the crisis on desires for children and marriage were diverse and indirect.Desired fertility of married women aged was reduced, not by their own experiences of economic hardships, but by their husbands'.This implies that the husband's employment is a major factor in determining a woman's perception of the financial feasibility of having children and suggests that, if prolonged, the crisis could lead to lower marital fertility in Thailand.Marriage desires of young unmarried women aged were dampened, not by their own hardships, but their mothers' economic difficulties, hinting that the widely documented close emotional ties between mothers and daughters in Thailand may have played a role
