Abstract

This chapter examines the advanced legislative reforms enacted by the Thai government under the leadership of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and the Pheu Thai party. These reforms are targeted at enhancing the socio-economic integration of migrant workers from neighboring countries. The latest general election in Thailand was held on May 14, 2023 and Initiated in the wake of significant political change in 2024 under Pheu Thai Party, the reforms have facilitated extensions to work permits, streamlined the process for changing employers and introduced temporary stay regulations to legalize the status of migrant populations. This study employs Labor Market Theory to analyze the implications of these reforms on Thailand's labor market and focuse on labor supply and demand, wage dynamics and the interplay between integration and competition of migrant versus local workers.
