Abstract
This study, as part of a series of work-family studies organized by the International
Labour Organization (ILO), examines the changing trend in families and work, and
illustrates the key work-family issues, policies and practices in Thailand. The study is
based largely on secondary data and interviews with key officials. The analysis is based on
census, household surveys, labour force surveys and other statistics collected by the
government. It reviewed past studies on the Thai economy, employment and family. A
series of interviews were conducted with key officials within the government, employer
and worker organizations, as well as NGOs and workers themselves.
