ABSTRACT
This study aims at examining and exploring remittance’s influence on educational continuance to Matthayom 4. Data in the study is from the Project on Social Change and Migration in Thailand : Case Study of Nang Rong District, Buriram Province that was collected in Round 1 (1984), Round 2 (1994) and Round 3 (2000) by the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University in collaboration with the Carolina Population Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA. The sample group in this study is children who were born in 1984. They were continually followed up on to find out the opportunity to be educated in Matthayom 4. Through the application of logistic regression, remittance of under 20,000 Baht was not found to have an influence on educational continuance. On the other hand, remittance of over 20,000 baht posed an influence on continuance. The researcher also used an adjusted proportional probability and found a higher amount of remittance yielded positive effects on education. A small amount of remittance could lead to an increasing number of young family members entering the labor market replacing family members who migrated out. As a high remittance implied more chances of children being educated, family members at places of origin, therefore, should put more importance on remittance management so that young members can continue their education to a higher level. In the meantime, out-migrants also should be encouraged to send more remittance.
