摘要

Labor migration across international borders has always been a common phenomenon in the labor market. Generations of such migrants have travelled across continents in pursuit of economic benefits and political freedom, as well as to alleviate poverty back home. The trend of labor migration thus, has usually been from the less developed countries to the more developed countries. With accelerated trade growth and globalization, the migration movements have also intensified within and across different regions. As of today, migration is no longer a sole issue of labor market movement. Its pertinence on human rights and social integration demands national policies and cross-country cooperation. While migration seemed to be a plausible way to escape from poverty, it is not a solution for everyone in the poorer countries as it is built upon initial capital investments and networks. This is particularly true for the people in less developed countries, such as Myanmar, Cambodia and the Lao PDR in the Great Mekong Sub-region (GMS). Constrained by poor educational and financial endowments, emigrants from these countries seek for life changing opportunities in Thailand, a country that is at a higher stage of economic development. Geographical adjacencies and cultural similarities marked Thailand as the preferred emigration destination for the poor in that region.
