摘要

摘要:本文分析了2010年上半年泰国和缅甸之间服装生产的劳动力迁移和重新安置。长期以来，非技术移民工人让泰国的服装等劳动密集型产业蓬勃发展。然而，较高的成本逐渐降低了泰国服装业的竞争力，迫使实施工业升级措施，并将一些劳动密集型生产转移到邻国。相反，作为泰国移民工人的主要来源国，缅甸自2010年以来增加了服装出口。通过实证研究，本研究发现，首先，泰国服装业在雇佣外籍工人的同时显著升级;其次，在过去十年中，两国之间的生产网络已经巩固。

Labour Migration and Relocation of Apparel Production between Thailand and Myanmar

Abstract:This paper analyses labour migration and relocation of apparel production between Thailand and Myanmar during the first half of the 2010s. For a long time, unskilled migrant workers allowed labour-intensive industries such as the apparel sector to flourish in Thailand. However, higher costs have gradually decreased the competitiveness of the Thai garment industry, forcing implementation of industrial upgrading measures and relocation of some labour-intensive production to neighbouring countries. Conversely, Myanmar, a major source of migrant workers for Thailand, has increased its apparel exports since 2010. Using empirical evidence, this study reveals that, first, the Thai apparel industry has significantly upgraded while employing foreign workers and second, production networks between the two countries have solidified over the past decade.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Southeast Asian Economies (JSEAE) is a peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary journal focusing on economic issues in Southeast Asia. JSEAE features articles based on original research, research notes, policy notes, review articles and book reviews, and welcomes submissions of conceptual, theoretical and empirical articles preferably with substantive policy discussions. Original research articles and research notes can be country studies or cross-country comparative studies. For quantitative-oriented articles, authors should strive to ensure that their work is accessible to non-specialists. Submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process – two reviewers for original research articles and one reviewer for research notes and policy notes. The journal is published three times a year: April, August and December.
