Academics Monday criticised the government for failing to produce manpower in response to demands in the labour market and warned that in three years Thailand would suffer a severe labour shortage.
At a seminar on the future of Thailand's labour industry, director of the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI) Yongyuth Chalamwong raised the key issue of education not responding to the demand of labour, especially since there weren't enough people with advanced vocational certificates that respond to demand.
"The Labour Ministry must talk more with the Education Ministry, economic agencies and private sector to have more manpower in the market. In two to three years, Thailand will suffer from a severe labour shortage, and if we don't solve this, it will be difficult to achieve economic and industry development," he added.
