Abstract

This research article attempts to analyze the relationship between career status and retirement readiness of skilled immigrants in Thailand’s educational sector. This article employed a sample of 319 skilled immigrants in the Northeast of Thailand and performed a statistical analysis utilizing the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach and using age as a moderator for the multi-group analysis (MGA). The empirical results revealed that career status was the primary constructs affecting a skilled immigrant’s capacity to retire readily. It was recommended that skilled immigrants enhance their career status by maintaining salary, improving skills necessary for job tasks, and promptly responding to the labor market demand. The results suggested that career status was a crucial factor allowing skilled immigrants to prepare for retirement effectively. Additionally, career status affects retirement readiness for both immigrants age above and below 30. However, this impact is significantly higher for the older ones.

摘要

本文旨在分析泰国教育部门技术移民的职业状况与退休准备之间的关系。本文采用了泰国东北部319名技术移民的样本，并使用结构方程模型（SEM）方法并使用年龄作为多组分析（MGA）的主持人进行了统计分析。实证结果表明，职业地位是影响熟练移民容易退休能力的主要因素。建议熟练的移民通过维持工资，提高工作任务所需的技能并迅速响应劳动力市场需求来提高其职业地位。结果表明，职业地位是使技术移民有效准备退休的关键因素。此外，职业状态会影响30岁以上和30岁以下的移民的退休准备。但是，这种影响对于年长的移民而言明显更高。
