This paper examines various aspects of the living standards of Lao PDR‘s ethnic minority groups relative to that of the historically dominant Lao-Tai ethno-linguistic group. The analysis draws primarily on data from the Lao Expenditure Consumption Survey of 2002/3 (LECS3), a nationally representative household survey that covered 8,100 households.
