Pearl Culturing Industry and Regional Employment Generation Vol.1, No.1 (Khin Chaw Myint, 2009)
KHIN CHAW MYINT
Myanmar pearl industry is one source that is generating income especially in terms of foreign currencies for the country and at present, this industry is making progress since the early 2000s; especially production of pearls is on the increase year by year. Pearl culturing, however, needs a large number of general workers, mostly unskilled , as the production process is of a different nature. It is seen that the pearl industry is giving employment opportunities to the vicinity where pearl farms are established . About 30% of the total population of approximately three thousand from three villages is now employed in this industry. Apart from this, through the establishment of a small scale industry producing import substituting raw materials for the pearl culturing business have resulted in generating employment for vulnerable children and orphans of training schools under the Social Welfare Department in Yangon. It is thus seen that there is a linkage between some type of industries' employment demand and securing social protection and welfare of vulnerable children especially orphans exists, thus producing a secured future for these children.
