ABSTRACT
Human capital accumulation for the purpose of employment among female migrants is complicated and varies on the ground that these women need to strive under the social structure not equivalent to males. In this qualitative research, human capital accumulation of female migrants and occupational mobility were emphasized. An in-depth interview was conducted with 15 female migrants from the rural Northeast to Chonburi province and 5 key informants during the period from October 2015 to January 2016. The content-analysis was performed with the data, and the results are presented in the analytical description style. The findings indicated that the rural northeastern female migrants relied on multiple methods of human capital accumulation, namely: 1) learning on the job - through mentoring of employment seniors or heads; 2) adult education - from attending special courses; 3) education institute – from studying in an open or close university; 4) short course training – from training in the specific field required. Human capital accumulation methods, individual traits, and migration patterns have brought about occupational mobility across major groups of occupations.
The researcher would like to thanks the Research Scholarship Year 2012 (Grant for a Graduate Lecturer) from the Graduate School, Khon Kaen University for the academic scholarship, and special thanks to the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, Khon Kaen University, the Research and Training Center for Enhancing Quality of Life of Work-Age People (REQW) of the Faculty of Nursing, Khon Kaen University for the conference travelling support.
