Circular Migration and Its Long-Term Implications

描述（由申请人提供）：基于对国内和国际移民研究的见解，拟议的研究考察了年轻人移民模式的决定因素，以及这些模式对30岁时居住地的影响。特别强调的是循环迁移的模式，决定因素和后果-一个在文献中研究不足的主题。该项目使用独特的前瞻性纵向数据集。该研究地点位于泰国东北部的Nang Rong地区，在土壤质量差、降雨不足和非农业工作稀缺方面属于农村和边缘地区。曼谷是泰国的主要城市，东部沿海地区是政府支持的开发区。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building upon insights from research on both internal and international migration, the proposed research examines the determinants of patterns of young adult migration, and the consequences of these patterns on place of residence at age 30. Of special emphasis are patterns, determinants and consequences of circular migration - a topic that is understudied in the literature. The project uses a unique, prospective, longitudinal data set. The study site, Nang Rong district, Northeast Thailand, is rural and marginal in terms of poor quality soils, inadequate rainfall, and the scarcity of non-agricultural jobs. Bangkok, the primate city, and the Eastern Seaboard, a government supported development zone, are the principal urban destinations.
