| dc.description.abstract | Thailand has been a regional hub for international
migration outgoing, incoming, and transiting in the country.
The majority of international migration inflow into the country
is Myanmar who has emigrated on account of political
instability, economic hardship and the repressive policies of the
Myanmar government. However, the two-digit economic
growth in the 1980s led Thailand to the expansion of labor
market and an acute labor shortage especially at the low-skilled
level. Currently, it is less likely to be argued that Myanmar
migrant workers are active in all sectors of the economy and
they have played a very important role in the Thai labor market.
As a result, the Thailand government expressed their demand
for laborers to fulfill the shortage of labor in country by adopt
an immigration policy for Myanmar migrant workers. | en_US |
