Abstract
This thesis describes the patterns of migration and distribution of
undergraduates and employed graduates using the Survey of the 1978/1979
Academic Year Graduates' Job Placement which was conducted by the Office of
University Affairs, Thailand, as the principal source of data.
In Chapter 2, undergraduate migration is studied by examining the
in- and out-migration of the respondents for the seven regions of the
country. The effect of the higher education decentralization policies
on levels of migration are considered.
Graduate employment trends during the 1974/1975-1978/1979 academic
years are studied in Chapter 3 to give a general idea of the employment
situation of government university graduates. It is concluded that the
overall levels of unemployment amongst government university graduates
do not constitute a problem at present.
In Chapter 4, the patterns and redistribution of employed graduates
are examined by various types of migration. It is demonstrated that
Bangkok university graduates are less mobile for employment than other
graduates.
The final chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications
of the findings and the limitations and possible further development
of the study.
