Labor Policy Responses to Ageing Society: How Thailand Achieve Human Security with Economic Growth?

นโยบายแรงงานรับมือสังคมสูงวัย: ประเทศไทยจะบรรลุความมั่นคงของมนุษย์ร่วมกับการเจริญเติบโตทางเศรษฐกิจได้อย่างไร

Abstract

While the deficit demographic has an adverse effect on the labour market, governments have generated labour policies that affect human security at work and migration. To better understand the concept of human security at work and its implementation in Thailand, this work aims to study the current labour policies in response to the ageing society, with the larger aim of assessing the policy gap and addressing the policy opportunities. The deficiency of related labour policies has caused poverty among the elderly population, a growing burden for female workers, discrimination against migrant workers and poorer support for workers with family responsibilities. Hence, these four vulnerable population groups, including female workers, migrant workers, elderly workers, and workers with family responsibility, will be affected most by labour policy responses to the ageing society. The labour policies related to these vulnerable populations will be inspected and analyzed to determine emerging concerns about human security at work.
