Download or read book New Chinese Migrants in Thailand and the Perceived Impact on Thai People written by Sivarin Lertpusit and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 110,000–130,000 new Chinese migrants reside in Thailand in 2022. They are comprised of five categories: entrepreneurs, employees, students, accompanying family members and lifestyle migrants. These migrants contribute to the Thai economy but also precipitate negative impacts as well. Some stay and work in Thailand illegally, and some engage in unlawful business practices. Five positive impacts include business cooperation, economic circulation, sources of Chinese-speaking manpower, technological transfers and a cross-cultural environment. Five perceived negative impacts are bad public mannerisms, occupying of local jobs, competition in business, control of businesses and tarnishing of Thailand’s reputation.

Download or read book Moving for Prosperity written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration presents a stark policy dilemma. Research repeatedly confirms that migrants, their families back home, and the countries that welcome them experience large economic and social gains. Easing immigration restrictions is one of the most effective tools for ending poverty and sharing prosperity across the globe. Yet, we see widespread opposition in destination countries, where migrants are depicted as the primary cause of many of their economic problems, from high unemployment to declining social services. Moving for Prosperity: Global Migration and Labor Markets addresses this dilemma. In addition to providing comprehensive data and empirical analysis of migration patterns and their impact, the report argues for a series of policies that work with, rather than against, labor market forces. Policy makers should aim to ease short-run dislocations and adjustment costs so that the substantial long-term benefits are shared more evenly. Only then can we avoid draconian migration restrictions that will hurt everybody. Moving for Prosperity aims to inform and stimulate policy debate, facilitate further research, and identify prominent knowledge gaps. It demonstrates why existing income gaps, demographic differences, and rapidly declining transportation costs mean that global mobility will continue to be a key feature of our lives for generations to come. Its audience includes anyone interested in one of the most controversial policy debates of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years, Thailand has emerged as one of the world's most dynamic economies. Yet Thailand is still little known and sparsely written about. This book is the first full-length overview of Thailand's economy and politics. It is based on a wide range of sources in both Thai and English. Its focus is on the second half of the twentieth century, set in a deeper historical context of Siam in the Bangkok era. It plots the transition from rice economy to emerging industrial power, and from absolutist monarchy to one of Asia's most open and lively democracies. The book will be useful for students, interesting for the general reader, and challenging for specialists.

Download or read book The Impacts of Low skilled Immigration on the Labor Market Outcomes of Existing Workers Production Technique and Economic Structure in Thailand written by Patcha Chaikitmongkol and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the impact of immigration on the welfare of the host economy? In this dissertation, I investigate the impact of immigration on a developing host economy on three margins. First, I investigate immigration's impact on wages, employment, and the types of jobs sought by existing workers in the labor force. Second, I explore how immigration affects the human capital accumulation decisions made by native youths. Finally, I examine the impact of immigration on economic structure and firms' technological choices. Most of the economic studies in the area of immigration are in the data-rich environment and developed-economy contexts of the United States, and countries in the European Union. For this dissertation I am in a unique position to explore into less investigated data set of a developing economy, of which the economic structure is not yet mature and non-stable. Thailand has been receiving large inflows of economic migrants from neighboring countries (Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia) due to its relatively advanced level of economic development. Almost all of these migrants are lacking in education, or experience beyond farming and related occupations. On average, the ratio of less-skilled immigrants to natives with less than high-school education at provincial level is about 0.05 (during 2009-2018). In this dissertation, I study the impact of less-skilled immigration on wage, employment and natives' occupational choices to confirm and update on results of existing Thai studies. I find that the claim of a negative impact on wages and employment is unsupported. Moreover, I explore the impact of immigration on educational attainment of Thai youths, and find that immigration does not have significant impact on youths' human capital accumulation. Finally, I investigate the relationship between immigration, Thai economic structure and firms' technological choices, and find that structural change is an important adjustment margin for changes in low-skilled labor supply in the Thai economy. This dissertation is the first empirical study to examine these secondary immigration impacts in Thailand, and among the first to examine them anywhere in the developing world.
Download or read book The Intimate Economies of Bangkok written by Ara Wilson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-07-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bangkok has been at the frontier of capitalism's drive into the global south for three decades. Rapid development has profoundly altered public and private life in Thailand. In her provocative study of contemporary commerce in Bangkok, Ara Wilson captures the intimate effects of the global economy in this vibrant city. The Intimate Economies of Bangkok is a multifaceted portrait of the intertwining of identities, relationships, and economics during Bangkok's boom years. Using innovative case studies of women's and men's participation in a range of modern markets—department stores, go-go bars, a popular downtown mall, a telecommunications company, and the direct sales corporations Amway and Avon—Wilson chronicles the powerful expansion of capitalist exchange into further reaches of Thai society. She shows how global economies have interacted with local systems to create new kinds of lifestyles, ranging from "tomboys" to corporate tycoons to sex workers. Combining feminist theory with classic anthropological understandings of exchange, this historically grounded ethnography maps the reverberations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity at the hub of Bangkok's modern economy.
Download or read book Achieving Skill Mobility in the ASEAN Economic Community written by Demetrios G. Papademetriou and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite clear aspirations by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to create an effective and transparent framework to facilitate movements among skilled professionals within the ASEAN by December 2015, progress has been slow and uneven. This report examines the challenges ASEAN member states face in achieving the goal of greater mobility for the highly skilled, including hurdles in recognizing professional qualifications, opening up access to certain jobs, and a limited willingness by professionals to move due to perceived cultural, language, and socioeconomic differences. The cost of these barriers is staggering and could reduce the region's competitiveness in the global market. This report launches a multiyear effort by ADB and the Migration Policy Institute to better understand the issues and develop strategies to gradually overcome the problems. It offers a range of policy recommendations that have been discussed among experts in a high-level expert meeting, taking into account best practices locally and across the region.
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.
