Institute for Population and Social ResearchDespite policies that provide a legal framework for controlling foreign labor, Thailand continues to experience an increasing trend of both unskilled and skilled labor migrants from neighboring countries. This can be attributed primarily to labor and skills shortages in the country. For the last five years, Thailand has a growing stock of Filipino migrants, and a sizeable number of them are working without a proper work permit. This study investigates and sheds light on the trends in the movement of Filipinos working in Thailand. It focuses on factors facilitating their movement and the various resources employed by migrants to remain in the country. Findings from a survey of 354 Filipino migrants in various provinces and at the Thailand-Cambodia border, as well as from in-depth interviews with 25 migrants are presented. The findings reveal that most Filipino migrants are highly skilled and well educated, and that they tend to come from certain regions and ethnicities in the Philippines. New patterns of mobility and different paths enabling Filipinos to work and remain in Thailand are revealed; many migrants switch between regular and irregular status, taking advantage of various mechanisms and resources in the process.Publication Open Access Human Security and Human Rights : (Still) contested concepts in ASEAN(2015) Sriprapha Petcharamesree; ศรีประภา เพชรมีศรี; Mahidol University.

A whole-of-university approach can be used to bring together curricula, research and campus operations to develop sustainable practices. However, this approach does not consider the possible contribution from students. This study examines the role of student involvement in the evolution of waste receptacles at Mahidol University International College using the case of a student project conducted in the ICNS257 Environmental Issues class, T.3/2015-2016. Results and analyses from the project were used to develop recommendations for improving the waste management system at the College which the students then presented to staff and faculty. The study concludes that student involvement plays an important role in contributing to the development of effective waste separation and sustainable practices in the future. Thus, a modified whole-of-university approach should be adopted that includes students as a main component, and not just a product, of institutional sustainability.Publication Open Access การมีส่วนร่วมของนักศึกษาในการสร้างนิสัยการปฏิบัติอย่างยั่งยืน: กรณีศึกษาวิวัฒนาการถังขยะที่วิทยาลัยนานาชาติ มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล(2560) ฑิตยนันท์ บุณยรัตพันธุ์; ธรรมนูญ จรัสเลิศรังษี; Ditthayanan Punyaratabandhu; Tumnoon Charaslertrangsi; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. คณะสังคมศาสตร์และมนุษยศาสตร์. สาขาวิชาการจัดการการศึกษา; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. วิทยาลัยนานาชาติ. กลุ่มสาขาวิชาวิทยาศาสตร์การจัดการขยะเป็นขั้นตอนสำคัญเพื่อการอยู่อย่างยั่งยืน การใช้แนวคิดแบบรวมองค์ประกอบมหาวิทยาลัย (whole-of-university approach) สามารถช่วยสร้างความยั่งยืนในมหาวิทยาลัยโดยการบูรณาการความรู้จากฝ่ายการศึกษางานวิจัยและงานปฏิบัติการ แต่กรอบความคิดนี้ไม่ได้คำนึงถึงการมีส่วนร่วมของนักศึกษา การศึกษานี้ได้สำรวจบทบาทของนักศึกษาในการปรับการออกแบบถังขยะที่วิทยาลัยนานาชาติ มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล โดยใช้กรณีศึกษาจากงานกลุ่มในวิชา ICNS257 Environmental Issues (เทอม 3/2558-2559) นักศึกษาได้ใช้ผลการศึกษาและผลการวิเคราะห์จากงานกลุ่มเพื่อพัฒนาคำแนะนำเกี่ยวกับการปรับปรุงระบบจัดการขยะที่วิทยาลัยนานาชาติ และได้นำเสนอผลงานให้กับเจ้าหน้าที่และอาจารย์ จากการศึกษานี้พบว่า การมีส่วนร่วมของนักศึกษามีบทบาทสำคัญในการพัฒนาระบบการแยกขยะและการสร้างพฤติกรรมที่ยั่งยืนในอนาคต ดังนั้นจึงเสนอให้ดัดแปลงแนวคิดแบบ whole-of-university approach เพื่อรวมนักศึกษาเป็นองค์ประกอบสำคัญไม่ใช่เป็นเพียงผลผลิตของความยั่งยืนในมหาวิทยาลัยItem Open Access Annual Report 2017 Mahidol University International college(2018) Mahidol University.

GeLC-MS/MSPublication Open Access Cross-border migration and poverty: evidence from the Kanchanaburi demographic surveillance system (KDSS), Thailand(2013-07) Aree Jampaklay; อารี จำปากลาย; Entwisle, Barbara; Hagan, Jacqueline M.; Chai Podhisita; 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.Publication Open Access Rapid Assessment and Response: The Context of HIV/AIDS and Adolescents in Bangkok(2011) Nantiya Watthayu; นันทิยา วัฒายุ; Jennifer Wenzel; Ratree Sirisreetreeru; ราตรี ศิริศรีตรีรักษ์; Chayathit Sangprasert; ชายาทิต แสงประเสริฐ; Nuntiga Wisettanakorn; นันทิกา วิเศษธนากร; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. คณะพยาบาลศาสตร์. ภาควิชาการพยาบาลสาธารณสุขศาสตร์; Johns Hopkins University.

Design: This community-based participatory research was designed in partnership with a community working group (CWG) consisting of local leaders, public health and social services providers. Methods: Findings described here are derived from a larger study in which data were collected using five methods: focus groups, cultural expert interviews, mapping, observation, and surveys. Only findings from the survey, developed for this study, are reported here. The survey comprised: demographic data (16 items); HIV/AIDS knowledge (5 items), beliefs and values regarding HIV/AIDS and condom use (17 items); perceived risk (2 items); and HIV/AIDS risk-taking behaviors (22 items). Main findings: The survey was administered to 100 adolescents aged 12 - 22 years. Findings revealed that adolescents are at an elevated risk of early, unprotected sex. Observed high risk behaviors included: unsafe sex, sex exchanges (for example, for drugs and money), substance abuse, and drug-dealing. There were also strong links between alcohol consumption and unprotected sexual encounters. Due to the observed lack of HIV/AIDS knowledge among adolescents, communities expressed a need for school-based or community-based prevention programs. Survey results were presented to the CWG to develop targeted action plans and research-based recommendations. Conclusion and recommendations: RAR appears to be an effective assessment tool to develop population-specific HIV/AIDS prevention interventions. The findings of this study provide information that could enable local health providers and policy makers in developing and implementing community-specific interventions to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people.
