Demography: A Case Study of Internal Migrant Workers in Food and Beverage Industry, Mandalay
Lwin Lwin Aung
Migration is one of the demographic components of population change, and today demography studies the size, composition and distribution of a population. The composition of a population includes measurable characteristics of population like place of origin, age, sex, marital status, education, job performed, and duration. Mandalay is economically active and fast becoming a major commercial and communication centre with border trade routes to China and India. Since Myanmar’s adoption of a market economy in 1988, Mandalay has seen rapid urbanization. The operation of Mandalay industrial zone is based on orders; therefore, there is a huge demand for labour. This has created favorable conditions for an influx of workers from surrounding areas. The city labour market gradually requires more unskilled workers, male and female migrants stemming from rural areas (Mandalay, Sagaing, and Magway Regions). How does internal migration affect demography? The research methods and designs chosen to collect the research data were based on qualitative approaches using Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and In-depth-interviews (IDI). The aim of the study; to examine the demographic characteristics of migrant workers and the objective is to explore demographic characteristics of migrants to be working in food and beverage industries.
