Solving the problem of foreign workers in local administrative organizations

Abstract

The main cause of the foreign labor problem is the economic, social and political changes within the country, which have resulted in an increase in the demand for labor, leading to human trafficking. At the same time, the government’s operations are still flawed in terms of laws and management of illegal labor, resulting in ineffective problem solving and affecting the country’s security and peace and order. However, this problem also reflects the importance of foreign labor, which plays an important role in the Thai economy, especially in developed countries where part of the growth comes from foreign labor. Therefore, these labors should not be viewed negatively, because their entry into the workforce not only improves their lives and quality of life, but also positively affects the economies of both the origin and destination countries. Solving the foreign labor problem should focus on the government planning a systematic labor management plan, both in the short term and the long term, to take care of and support foreign workers in Thailand at an appropriate level that is consistent with the domestic labor demand. In addition, the Thai education system should be reformed to support the labor market, to help reveal the problems hidden in the policies and create effective solutions to the foreign labor problem.
