The number of migrants declines already 15 years. More males than females migrate, but towards Bangkok more females than males migrate. Most people migrate in order to go home, but toward Bangkok most people migrate to find work. Only a small number of migrants in Thailand and Bangkok are international migrants. Most migrants to Bangkok come from non-municipal area, mainly from the north(-east). Most migrants are working, but way less men than women are household workers. Female migrants are higher educated than male migrants. Most migrants in Thailand do not remit (80%), mostly because they have no money to remit, or because they have no-one to remit to. More males than females remit in Thailand. From Bangkok 40% of the people do remit however, which is substantially more, and more females remit from Bangkok than males. Most remittances are geared towards parents. date: 2012 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: POPST tutors_name: Bailey, A. keywords_local: thailand keywords_local: bangkok keywords_local: gender keywords_local: migration keywords_local: remittances language_iso: en titleorder: Gender differences in migration and remittances behaviour in Bangkok, Thailand. dbi: 5093dfb2590c9 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/PopSt/2012/mhlokhorst/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132453-5093dfb2590c9.xml date_issued: 2012-01-01 citation: Lokhorst, M.H.
