Refugee Economic Inclusion: Policy Recommendations for Sustainable Socioeconomic Development in Thailand

By the Myanmar Response Network (MRN) and the Center of Excellence in Econometrics (CEE), Faculty of Economics, Chiang Mai University

At a critical juncture in Thailand’s economic restructuring—amid growing labor challenges and intensifying international competition—the Myanmar Response Network (MRN), in collaboration with the Center of Excellence in Econometrics (CEE), Faculty of Economics, Chiang Mai University, introduces the concept of Refugee Economic Inclusion. This approach provides a pathway for addressing refugee-related issues in a way that contributes positively to Thailand’s long-term economic and social sustainability. The concept emphasizes fair inclusion of refugees in the Thai economy while maintaining a balance with the interests of Thai workers and long-term structural stability.

Stay tuned for the launch of the latest research report by MRN and CEE:

The Economic and Social Impact of Granting the Right to Work for Refugees in Thailand: A Case Study of Tak, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok. This report highlights that refugee economic participation is not only a humanitarian issue but also a key factor in achieving national stability and sustainable growth. Join us for the official report launch on 15 July 2025 for evidence-based insights and in-depth analysis.
