The overall objectives is to: (a) examine the so-called 'push/pull' factors which help influence the movement of the Thai migrant workers; (b) investigate the socio-economic impact of this migration phenomenon on Thailand and its implications for the host recipient economies; and (c) seek and explore alternatives in order to rationalize such migration movement as well as to suggest possibilities of policy recommendations arising therefore.

Download or read book Perceptions of Borders and Human Migration written by Ropharat Aphijanyatham and published by Institut de recherche sur l’Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many prior studies to date on the internal conflicts in Burma, these are mostly focused on the human rights situation within the country. In addition, many previous marked studies, such as works from Thai academics, International Organizations or the World Health Organization, have highlighted the human securities of migrant workers in the destination country whereby the process of migration has already taken place. However, none of them have focused on the phenomenon of migration in relation to perceptions of borders and human security. The lack of study addressing the influence of borders and human securities as the key indicators to people’s migration behaviour supports the significance and relevance of this research.

Download or read book Translocality written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses globalising processes from the perspective of the humanities and social sciences. It focuses on the ‘global south’, notably the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Densely researched case studies examine a variety of approaches for their potential to understand connecting processes on different scales. The studies seek to overcome the main traps of the ‘globalisation’ paradigm, such as its occidental bias, its notion of linear expansion, its simplifying dichotomy between ‘local’ and ‘global’, and an often-found lack of historical depth. They elaborate the asymmetries, mobilities, opportunities and barriers involved in globalising processes. Their new perspective on these processes is captured by the concept of ‘translocality’, which aims at integrating a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches from different disciplines.

Book excerpt: Over the past 50 years, immigration has become a strong force throughout the world. Economic opportunity is among one of the most important factors expediting migrant's decision to move. The destination countries, which in general have relatively higher level of economic development, usually share the same characteristics of intense labor demands, aging population, and declining birth rate. Therefore, migrant workers have become an important, or even integral, part to their economies. Thailand, as one of the economic leader in Southeast Asia, also attracts a large number of migrant workers for its export-driven economy. Migrant workers from Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos have been filling the demand of low cost and low-skilled workforce in labor-intensive manufacturing industries. Consequently, Thai industries have depended heavily on migrant workers from its three neighboring countries. However, as ASEAN Economic Community [AEC] is taking its full effect and as Myanmar is implementing its political and economic reformations, experts predict dramatically depleting number of migrant workers from these three countries to Thailand. This research attempts to study the level of dependency on low-skilled migrant worker in Thai manufacturing sector by thoroughly examining relevant statistical data. The findings show that construction industry employs the highest number of migrant workers, at 236,346, followed by agroprocessing and seafood processing industries. However, seafood processing industry has the highest level of relative dependency, at 72.40 percent, followed by stone processing and livestock processing industries. The results suggest urgent preparation for both public and private sectors related to industries with high level of low-skilled migrant worker dependency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the right policies are in place, labour migration can help countries respond to shifts in labour supply and demand, stimulate innovation and sustainable development, and transfer and update skills. However, a lack of international standards regarding concepts, definitions and methodologies for measuring labour migration data still needs to be addressed. This report gives global and regional estimates, broken down by income group, gender and age. It also describes the data, sources and methodology used, as well as the corresponding limitations. The report seeks to contribute to the 2018 Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and to achieving SDG targets 8.8 and 10.7
Download or read book South south Migration and Remittances written by Dilip Ratha and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "South-South Migration and Remittances" reports on preliminary results from an ongoing effort to improve data on bilateral migration stocks. It sets out some working hypotheses on the determinants and socioeconomic implications of South-South migration. Contrary to popular perception that migration is mostly a South-North phenomenon, South-South migration is large. Available data from national censuses suggest that nearly half of the migrants from developing countries reside in other developing countries. Almost 80 percent of South-South migration takes place between countries with contiguous borders. Estimates of South-South remittances range from 9 to 30 percent of developing countries' remittance receipts in 2005. Although the impact of South-South migration on the income of migrants and natives is smaller than for South-North migration, small increases in income can have substantial welfare implications for the poor. The costs of South-South remittances are even higher than those of North-South remittances. These findings suggest that policymakers should pay attention to the complex challenges that developing countries face not only as countries of origin, but also as countries of destination.
