The Ministry of Labour has launched a campaign to promote the sufficiency economy philosophy among the Thai workforce. This campaign received praise from the acting Prime Minister, in a presentation at the government house today.
The Ministry of Labour today at the government house presented the outcomes from its campaign that promotes the implementation of the sufficiency economy philosophy among both employers and employees and encourages workplaces to utilize their existing resources for workers’ benefits, such as using an unused piece of land to grow vegetables. This will allow the workers to reduce the cost of living, a key starting point for a sufficient economy.
The campaign presentation at the government house today was observed by acting Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan. Successful outcomes from Saraburi Sugar Company Limited and Thai Stanley Electric Public Company Limited were highlighted in this presentation.
The acting PM praised these workplaces for their visions of good life and happiness, and for allowing workers to have security, immunity, and self-sufficiency.
Minister of Labour Suchart Chomklin said the campaign first started in 2021 with 99 participating workplaces, with 303 more workplaces joining this year. The campaign now has 402 participating workplaces, with a target of 300 more in the year 2023.
