摘要 The Thai economy grew dramatically in the past few decades, particularly between  and . During that period Thailand ceased to be solely a labor-exporting society and became one that both sends workers abroad and receives foreign labor. At present the number of foreign professionals working in the kingdom exceeds . The stock of workers from neighboring countries was nearly  million before the  economic crisis. On the contrary, Thai laborers started moving overseas in the early s to work in the Gulf region. The direction of labor flow gradually shifted to East Asia, as Japan and the NIEs began having labor shortages in the s. In light of the Thai experience, the link between international labor migration and regional economic changes becomes an intriguing topic for research. This article investigates the migration systems that exist between Thailand and the destination countries in East Asia. It focuses on the migrant flows to Taiwan before and after the legalization of labor importation in the early s, identifying the labor market segments into which Thai workers have been recruited. The main concern is the consequences of the labor movements on individual workers, in particular their earnings and their working and living conditions in Taiwan. The analysis also addresses key policy implications for both Thailand and Taiwan, which are closely linked not only by labor movement but also by trade and direct investment.
