The authors conclude that, given the current, ongoing security challenges and the lack of job opportunities in Myanmar, voluntary repatriation is not yet feasible as a long-term solution. After more than 60 years of conflict and displacement, Myanmar is now in the midst of political reform. A new nominally civilian government and the promise of elections in 2015 have raised hopes of a lasting democratic transition after years of military rule. For the first time in decades, repatriation of refugees in Thailand is being discussed as a real and imminent possibility.Migration Studies,2570-4001 ;28Emigration and immigrationInternational relationsQuality of lifeMigrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000International Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Quality of Life Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000Emigration and immigration.International relations.Quality of life.Migration.International Relations.Quality of Life Research.362.8709596Chantavanich Supangedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKamonpetch Aungkanaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155276003321Refugee and Return2500551UNINA
