Abstract: |
The main objectives of this study were two fold. First, to study the general characteristics background in terms of socio-economic, demographic, employment and migration background of female workers in the manufacturing industry. Secondly, to assess the determinants of female workers' fertility and to examine the effect of fertility on employment. The data used in this study were selected ever married female workers from the survey of "Family Planning and Welfare Services for Female Workers in the Manufacturing Industry" conducted by Mahidol University in 1986-1987. The findings from the study revealed that the majority of these female workers were migrants from villages in the central and northern regions of poor families. The average education of the female workers was about 6 years, working as daily wage labourers in the least skilled and low paid positions in spite of working for more than ten years. As the urban household could no longer subsist on a single income, the income from female workers, which were about 3,400 baht per month, were an important contribution to their family. Female workers had small families with the average number of about 1.6 children ever born and an expected family size of about 2.1. Nearly 40 percent of these workers were currently using the pill from private sources, followed by female sterilization from government sources. |
