Circular Migration and Its Long-Term Implications

说明(申请人提供)：基于对国内和国际移徙研究的见解，拟议的研究审查了年轻人移徙模式的决定因素，以及这些模式对30岁时居住地的影响。特别强调的是循环移徙的模式、决定因素和后果--这是文献中研究不足的一个专题。该项目使用了一个独特的、前瞻性的、纵向的数据集。研究地点位于泰国东北部的南荣区，由于土壤质量差，降雨量不足，以及非农工作岗位的稀缺，这里是农村和边缘地带。灵长类城市曼谷和政府支持的开发区东海岸是主要的城市目的地。

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.
