根据《劳动保护法》（LPA）的定义，泰国的非正式工人没有雇员身份。通常，他们不会在雇主的前提下工作；他们在家工作，可能是个体户或临时工。他们占泰国劳动力的62.6%，工作场所的事故率比正式工人高10倍。大多数泰国劳动法只适用于正式工人，但也有一些法律保护家政、家务劳动和农业部门的非正式工人。保护非正规工人的法律缺乏切实可行的执行机制，而且通常是无效的，因为非正规工人缺乏雇佣合同和对其合法权利的认识。泰国社会保障法未能向非正规工人提供工伤事故、疾病和伤害的治疗；失业和退休保险；还有工人赔偿。文章总结了正规和非正规部门工人在可获得的保护方面的差异，以及减少这些差异所需采取的措施。
Informal workers in Thailand lack employee status as defined under the Labor Protection Act (LPA). Typically, they do not work at an employer’s premise; they work at home and may be self-employed or temporary workers. They account for 62.6 percent of the Thai workforce and have a workplace accident rate ten times higher than formal workers. Most Thai Labor laws apply only to formal workers, but some protect informal workers in the domestic, home work, and agricultural sectors. Laws that protect informal workers lack practical enforcement mechanisms and are generally ineffective because informal workers lack employment contracts and awareness of their legal rights. Thai social security laws fail to provide informal workers with treatment of work-related accidents, diseases, and injuries; unemployment and retirement insurance; and workers’ compensation. The article summarizes the differences in protections available for formal and informal sector workers and measures needed to decrease these disparities in coverage.
