Abstract

The JCSH, succeeding The Rangsit Journal of Social Science and Humanity (RJSH), continues to focus on publishing research works of various contemporary issues in social sciences and humanities.  In this issue, we are delighted to present eight (8) research articles from various academic disciplines, some of them are specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the first article, Kaewkwan Tangtipongkul analyzed the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on informal workers, by using the Thai National Statistical Office’s Informal Worker Survey 2011-2021 in Thailand.  The author found that the number of informal employments in Thailand had decreased continuously during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020 and 2021. In addition, the average monthly earnings and average total weekly working hours of informal workers declined statistically significantly during that same period.
