Rhoden Social Sciences © 2018 This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply Processes of mixed migration beyond the reified “refugee-migrant binary” of migration studies are an empirical reality along the Myanmar-Thailand border. Utilizing a survey of 3874 mobile individuals from Myanmar in Thailand as a case study, this paper examines the impact of past experiences of migrants on the likelihood that any one of them will reside inside a refugee camp instead of outside of one in Thailand. A dataset is constructed that specifically intersects “refugee” communities with “labor migrant” communities in order to measure the importance of factors of socioeconomic, self-identity, past persecution, and social network considerations. Though indicators like religion, ethnicity, and the fear to return are salient in the likelihood of living inside a camp, family location is the strongest single predictor variable for whether or not an individual from Myanmar will inhabit a refugee camp. Future research may benefit by researching across migrant communities normally considered disparate. 2018-09-05T04:40:19Z 2018-09-05T04:40:19Z 2018-06-28 Journal 18746365 14883473 2-s2.0-85049144181 10.1007/s12134-018-0595-8 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85049144181&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/59157 |
