This study primarily concerns the impact of waged labor and access to education on women's lives and family roles in a provincial capital town in northeastern Thailand. In this study, the author shows that women's status has improved in Thailand in the last thirty years, especially in areas such as access to education and to employment. At the same time, important social and economic shifts are occurring which threaten to undermine women's opportunities for social mobility, career advancement and personal autonomy, including the ability to meet their basic needs for survival through selling their labor.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study primarily concerns the impact of waged labor and access to education on women's lives and family roles in a provincial capital town in northeastern Thailand. In this study, the author shows that women's status has improved in Thailand in the last thirty years, especially in areas such as access to education and to employment. At the same time, important social and economic shifts are occurring which threaten to undermine women's opportunities for social mobility, career advancement and personal autonomy, including the ability to meet their basic needs for survival through selling their labor.
520 $a By examining the historical changes in the connections between the organization of the family and the organization of work, the author shows how kinship and family organization have articulated with national economic development efforts and the expansion of the national and local economy in the Thai context in a manner that has been to the advantage of some women, creating social mobility into the middle class for many, through education and through economic activity as entrepreneurs. Using data gathered during fieldwork in Thailand under the auspices of a Fulbright Junior Researcher Award from September 1988 to September 1989, the author shows how the economic expansion of women's white collar employment, the expansion of education opportunities, and women's traditional importance as economic resources for the family enabled women to move into bureaucratic, white collar jobs in the period from 1960 to 1980, with significant changes in women's capacity to move into these careers from 1980 to 1990. The results of the changes in the last ten years have been to the disadvantage of many young non-elite women seeking to repeat the successes of the older generation in a substantially changed economic environment. Women's relationships with men, through marriage and family, the impact of widespread prostitution and bigamy on women's situations, and the impact of the AIDS crisis on women and family life and the future of women's movements in Thailand are also addressed.
