webfact Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 PM calls for employment of low-income earners BANGKOK, 22 May 2017 (NNT) - The Prime Minister has ordered all economic agencies as well as the Ministry of Interior to find employment for low-income earners and farmers as to boost their income. A report from Government House has indicated Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha has ordered the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Ministry of Interior and other offices related to economics to find ways to generate employment for low-income earners as to bolster their revenue. He suggested the government directly hire those in need such as farmers who do not own their own land and students in between semesters, saying they could be put to conducting surveys and other fact finding work. The PM said work should be appropriate and beneficial to the particular area of those employed as well as in step with the civil-state approach. He called for collaboration between the state, private sector and general public and asked that private businesses support this effort. -- nnt 2017-05-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more surveys, please! Edited May 22, 2017 by djayz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegman Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Start with zero migrate workers on construction sites. Let these developers like Tulip Group pay real market wages rather than ฿200 a day. Then turn around and demand first world prices. Make Thailand Great Again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Lawrence Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I watched this doco/film last night. Brand made a lot of sense. Its great there is a drive for jobs, but the elephant in the room is 'everyone in the community needs to contribute to the economy'. That includes paying taxes. How much has Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, etc contributed to paying Taxes in all countries they operate in. What about the rich Thais. Young Mr 'Boss' and Red Bull Family could kick in $1 billion US and still live the life of Riley. Jobs are needed but an equitable spread of capital and resources is what is really needed. Don't know if this is in the blueprint. Woody Allan said, "I really treasure this gold watch, which my grandfather sold me on his death bed".
