The worldwide economic crisis will not spare Cambodia. According to a study recently published, the number of unemployment will increase in 2009 in the garment and construction sectors. On the other hand, the agriculture and the tourist sectors may be able to absorb some these workers.
A report by the Cambodia Institute of Development Study (CIDS), which was made public last week, shows that the Cambodian economic growth should slow down from 6% in 2008 to 5% in 2009. Exports would drop by 2.5%, causing the kingdom to lose a revenue of $75 million. The number of tourists, while still on the increase, should increase at a slower pace, by 5.5% rather than the 15.7% increase seen in 2008.
This new economic data will most likely affect social issues. It will lead to a return of the unemployed to the countryside, or it could push them to migrate to Thailand (to look for work). “When people do not have work, and their knowledge is very low, they will be pushed to commit violence,” a concerned Chea Mony, President of the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC), said. He also accused the government of being indifferent to the plea of unemployed workers.
