The plight of Internally Displaced People, or IDPs, in Burma was a continuing problem over the year 2000. Burma contributes
over an estimated 1 million IDPs to the estimated world IDP population of 21 million and estimated Asian IDP population of 5
million. (The CIDKP put the IDP number at 2 million in 2000.) Internally displaced persons in Burma live under conditions of
severe deprivation and hardship. All but few of these people are without adequate access to food or basic social, health and -

The one million Burmese migrant workers in Thailand are one of the largest migrant populations in Asia. Migrant workers from Burma come from a variety of geographical locations and ethnic groups and work in several different industries and service sectors in Thailand. There are both push and pull factors at work when people make the decision to migrate to Thailand. The pull factors include the close geographical location of Thailand to Burma as well as the demand in Thailand for cheap labor.

There are currently more than 120,000 refugees living in Thailand. Refugees from Burma are also in refugee camps along the
Bangladeshi and Indian borders as well as working and living in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Malaysia. The line between
refugee and migrant is a thin one and there are also an estimated 1 million migrant workers living in Thailand who have fled from
their homes for many of the same reasons that official refugees have. (The topic of migrant workers from Burma is covered in -

For centuries, that part of Southeast Asia which eventually became modern Burma
was largely isolated from, and ignorant of, the wider world. While visited by travelers
and traders from a very early date, and Europeans from the 14th century, Burma was
really only of strategic interest to its immediate neighbors, with whom it fought a
number of wars. India, China, and Thailand have all invaded, and been invaded by,
Burma at different times. As the major European empires expanded, however, and -

A project is in progress to build a number of roads in Kachin State in return for huge logging concessions. While improving and expanding the infrastructure in Kachin State is much needed, the impact of this deal on the environment could prove to be disastrous.

People from Burma have become the major group of displaced persons in Thailand. Most of them are currently being sheltered
along the Thai-Burma border, particularly in the Thai provinces of Mae Hong Son, Tak, Kanchanaburi and Ranong. It is
estimated that there are some 40,000 children from Burma under the age of 15 accompanying their parents. In addition,
thousands of unaccompanied children are driven across the border by the desperate circumstances in Burma. ... -

It is estimated that the overall number of Burmese migrants in Thailand is somewhere in between 800,000 and one million.
Cross-border migration into Thailand has steadily increased in recent years. Since the 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Thais
have gone to work abroad. Refugees from Burma, Laos and Cambodia have since filled this labour shortage in Thailand.
However, many of them are undocumented, illegal workers and thus constitute the most vulnerable section of the work force. -
