CHILDREN'S LIFE OPPORTUNITIES IN EXCLUDED COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN THAILAND : The case study of Thai Hilltribe Children

Lopez Jerez, Montserrat (2007)
Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University
Abstract
In June 2000, the Thai Ministry of Interior, announced that 120,000 hilltribe children were stateless in Thailand, even though they were entitled to citizenship. This was just the 'tip of the iceberg' of a greater problem, which affects approximately half a million people, and the society as a whole. More hilltribe children are making a livelihood from drug dealing, prostitution, and street vending. Hilltribe children and women are one of the most vulnerable groups to trafficking. A study was conducted in order to analyze the structural limitations these children are born into, and how this influences the development of their capabilities.
