Sean60 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 But tourism is only 11% of thai economy. The Covid will not effect anything else. This was the message this government send to Thai people. Now the Thai people are paying for it. The incompetent Thai government. Every minister should be arrested and the people should confiscate all their wealth. Make them poor. Take their cash, their home and the wife and gigs jewelry. Lets see how they will behave? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karunasup Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Unemployment is a global problem.....not just in Thailand. Wait till AI & Robotics increase unemployment in the West - beyond what it happening by Covid. Just because EU govt can provide welfare does not mean, it can be done long term.

If you need something that simple explained to you, perhaps you should enroll... The Ministry of Education publishes statistics on how many schools, unis, and colleges operate, how many teachers teach at different grades and how many students they have. The stats are a few years old so the numbers can be audited and are roughly right, not precisely wrong. If you can make the effort to look for yourself, you'll see on page 22, table D, that there were 1,790,341 undergraduate degree students in 2016. That covers all years across the distribution of course-lengths. You can safely assume that the average course length is 3.x years; between 3 and 4 years. 1,790,000 ÷ 3 is approx 597,000 and ÷ by 4 is around 447,000. So the 450,000 approximation I used lies between the two and is therefore not out of line with the audited count of all undergraduate students in 2016. There is also a 145 page report (in Thai) from the Department of Employment that states 447,454 graduates in 2018. You can take your pick of the audited results, or you can rely of the depth of your experience from the bowels of Pattaya to make up your own alternative reality. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect intended and I realize 500 THB a day is more than the minimum, but I think a university graduate is likely to aspire to something more financially rewarding than 500฿/day. Personally, I'd choose to keep looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I am not familiar with the naming are he's talking about graduates who are entering the labour market. Undergradutes i assume are still studying and not ripe for the market yet. Looking at the same table I see Graduates in total (4 most right colums) are about 170K people who are ready to enter the Labour market. Still much more then I expected but far less then the 500K this guy is talking about ... Interesting to know what happened with all those under graduates on their way becoming Graduates. Drop outs?

Popular Post Knobby37 Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’ve seen this coming for years across the world, doesn’t seem to be much real skill training like carpentry, mechanical engineering, quality brick laying etc etc. Too many academics learning irrelevant cr@p.

Thx for the info. An undergraduate studies for a bachelor degree (3-4 years). After graduating, some of those continue at graduate level, leading to a masters degree (1-2 years). Both are called university graduates in laymen’s terms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta408 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The loss of valuable young people, well educated, bilingual, work oriented and motivated and who cannot find jobs is a disaster. It is a lost generation and very possibly the next one. The government has NO plan on how to use this manpower except send berry pickers to Sweden.

katana Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Oversupply of graduates is a problem in a lot of countries. Unless you got a first, there are so many applying for each job, you stand little chance of landing work in your chosen field. Plus you are landed with all that student debt requiring years to pay back. When you look at the large salaries the Chancellors and other uni officials are getting, you can see where all that fee money went. Better off to learn a trade like eg plumbing nowadays. Plus with the internet now, you can pretty much learn anything you want anyway. No need for uni. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
