Ageing in Place in Thailand
Waiting and the Everyday Life in Precarity
Urban refugees and asylum seekers in Thailand are confronted with the complexities of autonomy and precarity beyond formal camp arrangements. Although cities offer some flexibility, refugees face systemic impediments that include the absence of legal recognition, restrictive immigration policies, and marginalization exacerbated by prolonged waiting, demonstrating the realities of being a refugee . This qualitative study examines the influence of …
Understanding Commuting Mode Choices in Bangkok
This study investigates commuting patterns in Bangkok between 2015 and 2023 and examines the influence of demographic, socioeconomic, and spatial factors on commuting mode choices. The microdata from the 2015 and 2023 Migration Survey from the Thailand National Statistical Office were used to identify significant shifts in age distribution, educational attainment, and employment status among commuters. The findings reveal a growing preference for…
Pro-environmental behavior (PEB) across different demographic compositions of the Bhutanese population
Demographic Context of Thai-Western Partnerships in Thailand
Marriages between Thais and Westerners have become more frequent in Thailand, which could have significant social and economic implications for the country. However, we currently lack information on the exact number of Thai-Western couples and their demographic characteristics. To address this, we conducted a study using Thailand’s 2010 Population Census to explore the scale of Thai-Western partnerships and identify some basic demographic traits …
Socioeconomic inequalities in health outcomes among Thai older population in the era of Universal Health Coverage
Older persons in Thailand have better health while health inequalities between the rich and the poor have substantially decreased. However, there is inequalities in health outcomes within all three national health security schemes in Thailand. Minimizing differences between schemes continues to be a crucial cornerstone to tackling health inequalities among the older population. At the same time, making Thailand's UHC sustainable is necessary thro…
Psychological Functioning and Living Arrangements among Older Thai People
A Confluence of Worries
The responsibilities associated with looking after grandchildren can be a source of considerable worry for grandparents if they are their primary caregivers. Most of the research on this topic has been conducted in the United States with grandparents who are caring for grandchildren because of family crisis. In contrast, this study focuses on grandparents in Thailand who are caring for grandchildren due to the migration of their adult children se…
Mental Health and Related Factors among Migrants from Myanmar in Thailand
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of mental health problems in migrant workers from Myanmar in Thailand and to examine the relationship among factors that influence such problems. Lazarus’s transactional model of stress and coping was used to frame the study. Design: A cross-sectional design, involving interviews with 445 migrant workers from Myanmar, was used to collect data. Data collection tools included a sociodemographic form, the Interpe…
What is in the drug packet
Though illegal in Thailand, Yaa Chud is likely to remain available for self-medication by community members, due to the persisting demand by the elderly and migrant workers. There is an urgent need to replace these mixed medications with better choices. Safer Yaa Chud may be a preferred, first-line health-care option, which could help reduce congestion in the formal health-care setting. At the same time, enforcement of regulatory compliance needs…
Migration and “Skipped Generation” Households in Thailand
Many working-age adults in developing countries leave their homes for jobs to support their families and leave their children behind in the care of their own parents. This chapter focuses on these “skipped generation” households, in which grandparents live only with their grandchildren due to the migration of their adult children. The authors explore the experiences of caregivers, including how tasks and responsibilities are distributed within fa…
Pathways to grandparents’ provision of care in skipped-generation households in Thailand
In many parts of the world, grandparents live with their grandchildren in ‘skipped-generation households’ in which no parent resides. In Thailand, this living arrangement is more common in rural areas where parents often migrate to find employment. The focus of this article is on how grandparents make the decision to live in skipped-generation households. Our study is based upon open-ended interviews with 48 grandparents who lived in three rural …
Relationships between grandchildren and grandparents in skipped generation families in Thailand
Grandchildren are sometimes left in the care of their grandparents when parents migrate to find work. Using open-ended interviews with 48 grandparents, this study examines intergenerational relationships in “skipped generation households” in rural Thailand. The qualitative analyses identified several ways in which intergenerational relationships were characterized by solidarity (i.e., emotional closeness, instrumental helping, and financial assis…
A workplace intervention program and the increase in HIV knowledge, perceived accessibility and use of condoms among young factory workers in Thailand
Vulnerability to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection among factory workers is a global problem. This study investigated the effectiveness of an intervention to increase AIDS knowledge, perceived accessibility to condoms and condom use among young factory workers in Thailand. The intervention was a workplace program designed to engage the private sector in HIV prevention. A cross-sectional survey conducted in 2008 to measure program outco…
Memory and the Reporting of Remittance in a Sample of Elderly Persons in Thailand
Changes in Sexual Behavior and Attitudes Across Generations and Gender Among a Population-Based Probability Sample From an Urbanizing Province in Thailand
Thailand has undergone rapid modernization with implications for changes in sexual norms. We investigated sexual behavior and attitudes across generations and gender among a probability sample of the general population of Nonthaburi province located near Bangkok in 2012. A tablet-based survey was performed among 2,138 men and women aged 15-59 years identified through a three-stage, stratified, probability proportional to size, clustered sampling.…
Rural-to-Urban Migration and Changes in Health Among Young Adults in Thailand
We investigate the impacts of rural-to-urban migration on the health of young adult migrants. A key methodological challenge involves the potentially confounding effects of selection on the relationship between migration and health. Our study addresses this challenge in two ways. To control for potential effects of prior health status on post-migration health outcomes, we employ a longitudinal approach. To control for static unobserved characteri…
The effect of asset-based wealth inequality on problem drinking among rural Thai elders
Evidence on the link between income inequality and alcohol-related problems is scarce, inconclusive and dominated by studies from the developed world. The use of income as a proxy measure for wealth is also questionable, particularly in developing countries. The goal of the present study is to explore the contextual influence of asset-based wealth inequality on problem drinking among Thai older adults. A population-based cohort study with a one-y…
Health and demographic surveillance systems
BACKGROUND: Migration is difficult to measure because it is highly repeatable. Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) provide a unique opportunity to study migration as multiple episodes of migration are captured over time. A conceptual framework is needed to show the public health implications of migration. OBJECTIVE/DESIGN: Research conducted in seven HDSS centres [International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations…
The Impact of Migration on Mobility of Other Family Members in Thailand
The effect of initial migration of a household member on the subsequent migration of other household members is investigated. Previous research has documented the strong impact of migration experience in predicting future migration. This article builds on this experience by adopting a social network approach to explain the association between an initial migration from a household and the subsequent migration of other household members. Differenti…
Child overweight and undernutrition in Thailand
Labour migration and change in older people's living arrangements
This study involves an investigation of changes in older people's living arrangements in the context of a 4‐round panel design from the Kanchanaburi Demographic Surveillance System (KDSS), Thailand. The respondents were 2320 persons aged 60 and above, who were co‐residing with family members in addition to, or other than, their spouse at the time of the first round of the census. Survival analysis is used to interpret the data. Results indicate t…

Integrative analysis of city systems
This paper argues that integrative analysis of city systems helps us to see beyond their current environmental and social problems to underlying causes, and it suggests different opportunities for possible interventions. Focusing on a single aspect of a city or its people without understanding its context risks interventions which treat symptoms rather than causes and whose short-term “solution” often means that the problem returns in the same or…

Commuting
Correlates of Commuting Patterns
Commuting plays a causal role in the process of adjusting between residence and workplace. This paper examines the relationship between demographic, socio-economic and social environment factors and commuting patterns in Bangkok, Thailand. Based on the assumption that the commuting decision involves a two-step process—a decision to work at home or not, and a decision on commuting distance and time—the results indicated that age, sex, occupation a…
