Local economic development in Thailand
Thailand has witnessed very uneven spatial outcomes of economic policies pursued in the country since the 1970s. This partially resulted from top‐down, place‐based approaches favoring the already prosperous regions. Therefore, in order to bridge the territorial economic divide in the country, an alternative policy framework is needed to promote bottom‐up, place‐based initiatives led by local governments. As a starting point, we surveyed a stratif…

This article presents one of the first attempts to understand UN Sustainable Development Goal 10.2 (UNSDG 10.2) on reducing inequality as applied to a major ethnic minority community via a simultaneous application of three theoretical aspects of inclusion theory, itself an extension of social justice theory, i.e. via social, economic, and political inclusion.

The Thai Lao – Thailand's largest unrecognized transboundary national ethnicity
In 1900, the Lao ethnonym, and thus the Lao, ‘officially’ disappeared from Siam. However, Lao culture and identity persisted at local, regional, and national levels. As Keyes (1967) discovered, ‘a Northeast Thailand‐based ethno‐regionalism’ emerged post‐World War II. This regionalism, which we re‐term ‘Thai Lao’ and specify to the majority ethnic community, exists in a contested relationship with both ‘Thai’ and ‘Lao’ identity. The survival of th…

Grandparents' Relationships with Grandchildren in Thailand
The linkages between grandparents and grandchildren have recently gained more attention from academicians, but still receive little attention from development policy makers. This is in large part because the relationships between grandparents and grandchildren have always been taken for granted. But as the nuclear family has become the predominant form of family structure, replacing the once strongly knit extended family structure, the everyday i…

Urban Ties of Rural Thais
Sponsorship plays an important role in influencing migration decisions and shaping migration streams. Therefore, it is important to document the nature and extent of interpersonal linkages between villagers and urban dwellers. This article presents such an analysis for Thailand, in a context dominated by circular mobility. Using data from Northeast Thailand, it examines the prevalence of urban social contacts, selectivities involved in such linka…
Contraception after Childbirth in Thailand
Results from a 1984 national survey indicate that the large majority of Thai women initiate contraception soon after giving birth. Among sterilized women, the vast majority undergo the operation during the immediate post-partum period and thus avoid the risks of subsequent unwanted pregnancy. Rates of initiation of other methods are unusually high at and immediately following the time at which menses return, and hence only modest proportions of T…

Contraceptive Use and Fertility in Thailand: Results from the 1984 Contraceptive Prevalence Survey
The 3rd national Contraceptive Prevalence Survey of Thailand took place in 1984; a total of 7576 ever married women wre interviewed of which 317 were included in a special sample.

The increase nationallly was from 59 to 65% between 1981 and 1984. Increase in female sterilization accounts f…

Rural-urban mobility in Thailand: A decision-making approach
An individual behavioral model of the decision-making process for rural-urban mobility is applied to longitudinal data from an area of Northeast Thailand where circular rural-urban movement dominates. The individual-level variables included in the model are: recent mobility history, urban social contacts, information about urban areas, evaluations of various locations, migration plans, and actual movements in the period subsequent to an initial i…
Infant Feeding Practices, Postpartum Amenorrhea, and Contraceptive Use in Thailand
The findings from Thailand's 1984 Contraceptive Prevalence Survey suggest that an earlier trend toward reduced breastfeeding may have halted, with the initiation of breastfeeding virtually universal in rural areas and very common in urban areas. Breastfeeding duration, although quite prolonged on average, shows substantial rural-urban, regional, and educational differences. The introduction of supplemental food including infant formula and, to a …
Toward Migration Management: A Field Experiment in Thailand
Design and Evaluation of A Migration Experiment in Thailand
In many less developed countries, planners are concerned about the concentration of population in one or two major cities. The authors implemented a small-scale experimental program in Northeast Thailand designed to alter patterns of outinigration from a rural area, specifically to redirect migration to urban centers within the same region rather than toward Bangkok. Using data from a baseline survey and a follow-up survey 12 months later, strong…
A multilevel model of family planning availability and contraceptive use in rural Thailand
This paper assesses the ways in which the availability of family planning program outlets influences the likelihood of contraceptive use in rural Thailand. It focuses on a village-level measure of actual availability of sources rather than respondent perceptions of availability. Individuallevel and village-level data collected as part of the second Thailand Contraceptive Prevalence Survey are used to test three hypotheses about the effects of act…
