Institute for Population and Social Researchby globalization, population trends and epidemiological transitions force researchers to better understand and grasp the nature and processes of change associated with social and behavioral dynamics. This paper synthesizes the ways in which longitudinal research... has been a valuable tool for analyzing changing trends in population and health and the causal factors contributing to these changes, with special attention to its use in the Asia and Pacific Region. The discussion centers on three main aspectsPublication Open Access The place of fertility intentions: analysis of subsequent childbearing behavior among married Thai women(2008-01) Hongxia Zhang; Aphichat Chamratrithirong; อภิชาติ จำรัสฤทธิรงค์; Iqbal Shah; Aree Jampaklay; อารี จำปากลาย; Boonlert Leoprapai; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social ResearchThis study examines the relationship between fertility intentions and subsequent childbearing using event history analysis (EHA). All married women who were born during 1955 to 1985 were followed from July 2001 to August 2004. Their pregnancy histories were recorded on a monthly basis during this period using Laing’s Calendar. A total of 1,912 women were included in the event history analysis. The results suggest that fertility intention and socio-demographic characteristics can predict subsequent fertility behavior. Intention to have additional children shortens the time until the subsequent birth occurred. About one fourth of the women took approximately two years from intention to have a child. It is also indicated that subsequent childbearing is more likely to occur among the women who are younger, who married late, who have fewer living children, and who are non-Thai. The analysis indicates that it is challenging to facilitate fertility intentions and thus more effort is needed to do so.Publication Open Access Marriage in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand: Who delays, Who does not?(2017-10) Jidapa Phonchua; Chai Podhisita; Aree Jampaklay; Jongjit Rittirong; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social ResearchDelayed marriage is a global phenomenon, but in Thailand studies addressing this issue are limited . This study aims to analyze the factors associated with delayed marriage among Thai men and women in Kanchanaburi province .The analysis is based on a sample of 1,370 men and women aged 18-59 found in the Survey of Family and Household, 2010 .Chi-squared analysis reveals women are more sensitive to ‘modernization variables’ - education, occupation, economic status, migration experience, residential area, and attitudes towards marriage and divorce. This is confirmed by results of the logit model analysis which reveals that only age, occupation, and attitudes towards marriage have a weak- moderate effect on delayed marriage among men, whereas among women, all variables were found to be significant, with the exception of occupation. This result supports the idea that delayed marriage, particularly among women, is sensitive to modernization. It suggests that with continuing development more men and women could delay marriage. Delayed marriage could be an opportunity for more investment in human resource development aimed at preparing young adults for the family life.Publication Open Access Economic mobility of migrants in Kanchanaburi DSS, Thailand(2010-07) Aree Jampaklay; อารี จำปากลาย; Korinek, Kim; Sindhu Ratchasee; Boonlert Leoprapai; Mahidol University.

Institute for Population and Social ResearchThis study examines immigration, ethnicity, and poverty status in Thailand, with particular reference to the situation in the Kanchanaburi Demographic Surveillance System (KDSS). Kanchanaburi borders Myanmar, about 120 km weat of Bangkok. By comparing the economic prospects of households headed by the foreign-born, native-born minorities, and Thai nationals, we consider the relative effects of crossborder migration and ethnicity on household poverty. Of particular interest is the ways in which these effects are conditioned by residential context, specifically the ethnic makeup of the neighborhood or village. The results show significant adverse effects of immigrant status and non-Thai ethnicity on household poverty. Immigrant households (headed by the foreign-born) are particularly underprivileged, compared to the non-Thai/native-born and the Thais. Effects are heightened for households that arrived recently and for households located in minority villages.
