Issues Affecting the Movement of Rural Labour in Myanmar: Rakhine Case Study Okamoto, Ikuko 44897 366.2 JEL:J61 - Geographic Labor Mobility; Immigrant Workers JEL:R23 - Regional Migration; Regional Labor Markets; Population Migration Labour Fishery Migrant labor Labor market application/pdf IDP000206_001 This paper presents issues affecting the movement of rural labour in Myanmar, by examining the background, purpose and earned income of labourers migrating to fishing villages in southern Rakhine. A broad range of socioeconomic classes, from poor to rich, farmers to fishermen, is migrating from broader areas to specific labour-intensive fishing subsectors, such as anchovy fishing. These labourers are a mixed group of people whose motives lie either in supplementing their household income or accumulating capital for further expansion of their economic activities. The concentration of migrating labourers with different objectives in this particular unstable, unskilled employment opportunity suggests an insufficiently developed domestic labour market in rural Myanmar. There is a pressing need to create stable labour-intensive industries to meet this demand. technical report Institute of Developing Economies　(IDE-JETRO) 2009-07-01 VoR application/pdf IDE Discussion Paper 206 IDE Discussion Paper https://ir.ide.go.jp/record/37963/files/IDP000206_001.pdf https://doi.org/10.20561/00037958 http://hdl.handle.net/2344/850 https://ir.ide.go.jp/records/37963 eng ミャンマー Copyrights 日本貿易振興機構（ジェトロ）アジア経済研究所 / Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) http://www.ide.go.jp
