This study examined the exemplary Informal employed workers that emphasized the diversity of work performed and distributed in at least 130,000 people from 18 provinces, which were specific to at least 5 special economic zones. The survey tools of this study were adapted from a 2018 report regarding the quality of life of informal employed workers. This study expanded the conceptual framework from 4 dimensions to 8 dimensions and included 1) economic, 2) social, 3) health, 4) safety, 5) environment, 6) work 7) readiness and potential, and 8) other. The results of this study showed that the overall quality of Informal employed workers life in all 8 aspect areas was 79.99% with the highest weighing on economic quality of life (24.98%), safety (16.87%), health (16.32%) and lowest weighing about other parts (5.88%). Informal employed workers also gave the highest score on safety (88.48 points), other parts (80.52 points) and potential scores (80.52 points) and gave the lowest score on work (75.27 points). Important components needed to improve the quality of informal employed worker's life are "income" and "welfare." These two factors are related. The granting of Informal Employed workers into the welfare system would allow then to receive benefits under the Social Security Act, Informal employed workers need to have stable incomes because they are required to have monthly social security expenses, improving the quality of Informal Employed worker's life, it is necessary to address the problem of Informal Employed workers' income. The proposals for "forming labor groups" based on the type of work/occupation that are not unions in different business units are therefore considered in order to provide assistance, security, and improve the quality of life for Informal employed workers.

The literature review has been used to reflect patterns and processes of mediation in other countries which may serve as an example of mediating disputes in Thailand. A review of relevant literature shows that mediation has been a popular approach chosen to settle conflicts in many countries around the world. The key to mediating disputes is to empower people to resolve conflicts themselves. The dominant feature of this alternative conflict resolution is that it is more cost and time efficient than court proceedings. A crucial factor to a successful mediation is the mediator, the person responsible for facilitating negotiation between the disputed parties. It is found that the efficiency of operating mediation has contributed to a huge reduction of cases going into court each year. Moreover, mediation is also a form of conflict resolutions that has helped to maintain the relationship between disputants.

This study consisted of interviews with personnel in organizations related to vocational education in Thailand and Singapore. In total 29 people were interviewed. From the study, it was found that the Thai vocational education system was created to be an educational choice for students. However, in this system of education, there are still many issues that arise from the planning and policies in vocational education management; such as the gap in university education, shortage of personnel and budget issues. These problems affect the development of teaching styles and production of personnel that meet the needs of the changing labor market as technological advances. Also, a major drawback to the system is that it is based on the negative attitude of society towards vocational education. These negative attitudes have an effect on school decisio...

The data are obtained from the Kanchanaburi Demographic Surveillance System (KDSS) conducted by the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University, Round 3 (2002) and Round 4 (2003). The binary and ordered logistic regression techniques are employed to analyze the data. It is found that age, ethnicity, marital status, education, occupation, wealth, living place, health status, health behavior, risk behavior and having primary health insurance are statistically significantly associated with having secondary health insurance. While controlling the socio-economic factors and health factors, the chance of having secondary health insurance in each category increases with age. Moreover, males are more likely to have only private health insurance than females. It can be suggested that having secondary h...
