Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, satisfaction,
acquisition of information, relative advantages, complexities, trustworthiness and
effort of the government, among informal labour in Bangkok towards the social
security scheme and also to study the relationship between these factors and
participation in the social security scheme.
The approach was survey research. The target population was labour having
income but no social security at the age of 15-60 years. The sampling method was
two-stage stratified sampling, consisting of districts and sub-districts in Bangkok.
Questionnaires and interviews were used for collecting data with a 600- unit sample
size. Binary Logistic Regression Statistics with technique Enter was used for
analyzing the relationship between these factors and participation in the social
security scheme. The results concluded that knowledge of social security such as the
benefits, conditions, contribution rates and procedures, information from the
government and, the government effort as perceived by informal labour had a positive
relationship with participation in the social security scheme.
This research suggested that the government should 1) Provide knowledge of
social security more than ever. 2) Implement campaigns of social security through all
channels of the media especially via television as well as via informal interpersonal
media such as trustworthy community leaders, friends or relatives of the labour. 3)
Follow-up and evaluate the social security scheme more continuously and disseminate
the outcomes and plans more readily in the future to the labour and the general public
in order for them to gain a better perception of the government’s effort to develop
their quality of life. 4) Provide more benefit packages so that the labour can select a
package, which matches their needs and ability to pay for the contribution.
