dc.description.abstractThrough the study of migration processes and labour market participation of Burmese women workers in Thai border factories, production and investment in Thailand is found to be affected by both supply and demand for cheap female labour. The research uncovers labour market effects and implications for gendered well-being and entitlements, and how women migrant workers struggle for their dignity in relation to the factory, their colleagues, and their family members. The ways in which different state policies in Thailand interact to create new cheap labour pools in the border area are also examined.en
