Research Report (Translation) -0- Research Report Subject : Local Administration Organizations’ Role on the Elderly Employment Promotion Labor Market Research Division Department of Employment, Ministry of Labour September 2013 (Translation) -1- Preface According to the study of National Economic and Social Development Board on Thai population, the findings display an estimated trend in the population structure, mainly newborn to juvenile (0-14 years) decreasing steadily, whereas elderly age (60 years and older) keep on rising. In 2000, elderly numbers were estimated 9.43% with tendency for elderly increasing to 20% in 2023 that inevitably leading Thailand into the elderly society. As a result, the country would soon facing Labour shortages. Meanwhile, the increasing rate on the elderly dependency indicates pressure on working age group to replace large proportion of retired elderly as well as becoming the State burden to allocate enormous budgets for caring invalid elderly. Therefore, one of the solutions to alleviate elderly problems is the campaign for elderly employment promotion. Department of Employment has the main mission to promote employment for working age group and elderly looking for work. Since majority of elderly have lived in various locations in different regions, it is necessary for the Department to establish network affiliate, namely, Local Administration Organizations, to promote elderly employment throughout the regions. In addition, Department of Employment assigned Labour Market Research Division to conduct the research entitled, “Local Administration Organizations’ Role on the Elderly Employment Promotion”. The findings suggest the readiness of the Local Administration Organizations to carry elderly employment promotion campaign as well as seek guidelines to collaborate with Department of Employment or Organizations working closely with the Local Administration Organizations.

Boonlert Theratrakool Director of Labour Market Research Division (Translation) -3- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The findings suggest that majority of Local Administration Organizations or over half comprised of the Sub-district Administrative Organization, followed by the Municipality, Provincial Administrative Organization, and Special Form of the Local Administration Organizations employed less than 50 personnel and majority of them were 36-45 years old in average. The executives of the Local Administration Organizations over 90 percent agreed with the elderly employment promotion as well as mentioned the appropriate retirement age of 60 years old and the proper age for best hiring should be 55-65 years old, including the executive agreed to elderly work at home. As for the wages, it must be fixed according to the nature of work. Regarding the elderly employment promotion campaign, samples agreed to the capital funding and network buildings or setting occupational help group the most. Presently, the Local Administration Organizations over 70 percent have arranged 1-2 elderly employment activities and the most support in setting up the occupational group, followed by funding for self-employed entrepreneurs. When asking what action the Local Administration Organizations should take first to promote the elderly employment. Majority of samples answered that the database system on elderly should be updated and elderly ready to return to employment should be well trained by seeking collaboration with the agencies involves, namely, Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, including the Ministry of Education. In addition, the research findings suggest further that the larger Local Administration Organizations had arranged more elderly employment promotion activities than the smaller ones. From the aforementioned outcome, there are 2 recommendations as follows: First, the guidelines for collaboration between Department of Employment and Local Administration Organizations by taking initiative in preparation for elderly database who would like to reenter employment. Next are finding work at home and support funding for elderly, perhaps starting with collaboration with the larger Local Administration Organizations, followed by proposing to the agencies involved the suitable wages for elderly based on the work type, nature and working hours, just to make it fair for all stakeholders.

  • Descriptions of New Species of Dryinidae (Hymenop- Tera: Chrysidoidea) from Thailand
    Oriental Insects, Vol. 42: 227–235, 2008. DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF DRYINIDAE (HYMENOP- TERA: CHRYSIDOIDEA) FROM THAILAND MASSIMO OLMI Dipartimento di Protezione delle piante, Università della Tuscia, 01100 Viterbo, Italy Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT . Eight new species of Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are described from Thailand, namely Aphelopus thai ; Anteon phuphayonense , semipolitum , khaokhoense , doiense , phetchabunense ; Pseudodryinus thai ; Neodryinus phuphayonensis . The holotypes are deposited in the collections of Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The keys to the Oriental Aphelopus , Anteon , Pseudodryinus and Neodryinus are modified. Key words: Hymenoptera, Dryinidae, Aphelopus , Anteon , Pseudodryinus , Neodryinus , new species, taxonomy. Introduction Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are parasitoids of Hemiptera Cicadomorpha and Fulgoromorpha (Guglielmino & Olmi 1997, 2006, 2007). The Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) of Thailand were studied in the last thirty years mainly by Olmi (1984, 1991, 1998a, 1998b, 2000, 2005). However, in spite of the above papers, they can be considered insufficiently known. In 2007 I received for study an interesting collection of unidentified dryinids from Thailand. The study of this material resulted in the discovery of eight new species described herein. Material and Methods The descriptions follow the terminology used by Olmi (1984, 1994, 1999). The measurements reported are relative, except for the total length (head to abdominal tip, without the antennae), which is expressed in millimetres. The study techniques were those proposed by Olmi (1984). In the descriptions POL is the distance between the inner edges of the two lateral ocelli; OL is the distance between the inner edges of a lateral ocellus and the median ocellus; OOL is the distance from the outer edge of a lateral ocellus to the compound eye; OPL is the distance from the posterior edge of a lateral ocellus to the occipital carina; TL is the distance from the posterior edge of an eye to the occipital carina.

  • An Integrated Land Use and Water Plan for Mahasarakham Province, Thailand
    An Integrated Land Use and Water Plan for Mahasarakham Province, Thailand A thesis submitted to the School of Planning of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Community Planning in the School of Planning of the School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning 2013 by Yuwadee Ongkosit B.A. Geography, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand Committee Chair: David Edelman, Ph.D. Committee Member: Christopher Auffrey, Ph.D. Abstract This thesis identifies water-related problems that Mahasarakham Province, Thailand faces and the correlation between water and land use. Natural hazards are inevitable, and they ruin properties and cause changes to natural features. Two ways that the Thai government acts to mitigate their impact is to create or implement both structural and non-structural plans, but it heavily focuses on the first. The structural measures do not always relieve water-related problems. However, the non-structural measures can at least mitigate the effects posed on water resources. Land use and water resources are interconnected. One cannot separate one from another. Thus, this thesis also proposes an integrated water and land use plan that regulates the patterns of land use and prohibit certain uses at the national and local level. The proposed plan will help people better understand the interaction of land use and water resources. บทคัดย่อ วิทยานิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ ระบุปัญหาเกี่ยวกบนํั ้า ซึ่งจังหวัดมหาสารคาม ประเทศไทยประสบ รวมทั้งความสัมพันธ์ระหวางนํ่ ้าและการใช้ที่ดิน ภัยพิบัติทาง

The disease is spread by the corn flea beetle Chaetocnema pulicularia, but can be seed transmitted at a very low frequency . However, the potential risk of seed transmission is considered so important in international shipment of corn seed that more than 50 countries ban its import unless it is certified to be free of P. stewartii subsp. stewartii. Thailand is the important corn seed production in Southeast Asia. Every year Thailand import corn seed to use in seed production industry, it makes a high risk of bacterial disease enter through the farming systems in the country. Therefore, it is necessary to survey, monitoring and surveillance to the scientific information in preparing the list of pests, pest risk analysis and the pest- free area. From
