    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.

    Abstract: "Burmese refugees in Thailand maintain economic, social and
    political links with their country of origin, but these transnational activities
    are influenced by the politics and level of development of the country of
    origin and the host country. Through transnational activities, refugees can
    have a positive impact on the home country by contributing to peace-building
    and development or they can enhance conflict, as the discussion on
    community engagement and political transnationalism will illustrate. Clearly,

    Executive Summary:
    "The impact of decades of military repression on
    the population of Burma has been devastating.
    Hundreds of thousands of Burmese have been
    displaced by the government�s suppression of
    ethnic insurgencies and of the pro-democracy
    movement. As government spending has concentrated
    on military expenditures to maintain its
    control, the once-vibrant Burmese economy has
    been virtually destroyed. Funding for health and
    education is negligible, leaving the population at

    a significant number of Burmese
    living in camps. Despite Thailand�s
    developed public health system and
