Abstract |
This research aimed to study patterns of intergenerational transfers of economic capital in rural households of Northeast Thailand. The study was conducted with a qualitative approach using in-depth interviewing and observation of 10 key informants from 20 rural village households in Northeast Thailand. Each of the participating households had three generations of inhabitants and had transferred inheritance over those generations. The units of analysis were the community level and the household level. The descriptive analytical method was employed for data analysis.
The study area was mainly agricultural in character, with rice and vegetable farming and was connected to the outside by middlemen. Results of this study show that community structures and economic and social contexts of the community had been changed by the new economy. The impact of these changes has been to put into effect new patterns of intergenerational transfers of economic capital, including transforming matrilineal patterns into bilateral patterns (which are both partrilineal and matrilineal).
