BANGKOK, July 9 (MENA) - The Thai Ministry of Labour has announced the implementation of five key policies aimed at developing skills in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) protecting labor rights and expanding employment opportunities for young people, TV BRICS reported Wednesday.

One of the priorities is to train workers in AI skills. Specialized training programs tailored to the needs of the manufacturing and service sectors are planned. The training will be conducted with the participation of various industries and the private sector.

Another important area is ensuring equal labor rights. The ministry is initiating a reform of labor legislation to cover more than 21 million workers in the informal sector, as well as modernizing the social security system, making it more equitable and accessible to all.

Special attention is being paid to young people aged 15–18. The "Learn to Earn" approach will allow teenagers to combine their studies with part-time work, gain useful experience, develop skills and make good use of their free time.

In addition, a large-scale skills upgrading program is planned in the country.

Control over the employment of foreign citizens is also being strengthened. The ministry will encourage the legalization of their employment. (MENA)
