On August 27, 2020, at 08.00 hours, Labour Minister Mr. Suchart Chomklin gave an interview to Daily News newspaper on taking care of over 38 million workers by promoting skills development to up-skill and re-skill, providing workers with skills that can support them during the Covid-19 situation. The efforts are under the MOU in collaboration with the Office of the Vocational Education Commission, Ministry of Education. Through the MOU, the parties exchange information on vocational needs in line with the labour market and increase efficiency in preventing and resolving human trafficking, to upgrade the nation to Tier 1. Efforts are also aimed towards increasing social security benefits by encouraging employees to be aware of their safety and health, take good care, and prevent diseases from work. This also includes developing a Big-Data database system to serve people, ensuring information is accurate, prompt, and timely. The Ministry of Labour has expanded its network integrations to promote, protect, and develop non-formal or independent workers’ skills by promoting over 1 million jobs to protect workers according to labour law. Furthermore, it has expedited assistance for insured persons under Section 33 with low income and created knowledge and understanding of labour relations.
