タイ国における工業開発とインフォーマル化

アユタヤ周辺における労働者コミュニテイの事例

抄録

The relationship between Japan and Thailand within the industrialization has two aspects, that is, ODA and FDL. The funding of ADB, JBIC and JICA has propelled the projects such as constructing the dams, but the rural village people lost their farm land, industry and health. Some research reports by Japanese, which studied the ordinary community around the industrial estates, have the unsuitable standpoint for the current industrialized situation. Because these reports grasped only the ordinary village people without the industrial workers. This paper aims to analyse the type of workers related to the Rojana industrial park in the informalization, and to understand the stakeholders with the economic development. There are two aspects for dividing into classes, i. e. their birthplace and industry. Organized workers into the regional union consist of the large scale enterprises and Japanese SME workers, excluding Thai SME workers and homeworkers. Organized ones have the better work conditions than the informalized labour, but they also face the difficult situation, for example the very long working hours, shift work and the family welfare. The labour movement in the community progresses steadily, but the labour doesn't recognize well the environmental movement such as the Assembly of the Poor. It could be pointed that within the social movement the important point for mutual understanding especially between the labour and the poor is the presentation of their common issues, e. g. related to the safe and health.
