Abstract

The income effect of Mandarin proficiency on Thai labor force is analyzed by using questionnaire data. The study finds that: firstly, Mandarin proficiency has a significant positive impact on the income of Thai labor force, the effect of males on income is significantly higher than that of females, age is negatively correlated with income and health status is positively correlated with income; secondly, the mechanism of this influence is that Mandarin helps to reduce the cost of labor transfer between different regions and sectors, increase the successful migration, and thus obtain better economic returns; thirdly, enterprises and institutions, self-employed enterprises in non-agricultural sector have the most significant return on investment in Mandarin in the central region. Based on this, Thailand should enhance the Mandarin proficiency and human capital level of its workforce to increase labor income and meet the growing demand for economic and trade cooperation between China and Thailand.
