Figure 2

Trend of foreign migrant workers (Myanmars, Laos, and Cambodians) subject to the registration of work permits, according to provincial prorata demands in Thailand, 2001–2009. Regarded as the Section 13 of the Working of Alien Act, B.E. 2551 (2008), these cross-border migrant workers as illegal immigrants can apply for the engagement in officially permitted works as notified with regard to national security and social impacts in the government gazette by the Council of Ministers. Among foreign migrant workers, dynamic movements of Myanmar migrant workers are likely to be forced by some push effects. Data were modified from the Office of Foreign Workers Administration, Department of Employment, Ministry of Labor, Thailand (http://wp.doe.go.th/).
