| Abstract |
|
The thesis examined the problems and needs of the Moken Sea Gypsies. It was found that the problems and needs were related to health, the economy, the occupations and education of the sea nomads and were relatively high. It was further found that the state only focused on solving health and educational problems. Despite state assistance to improve their quality of life, the sea nomads did not cooperate to get state services as they should have. It was recommended that the findings be passed on to concerned provincial agencies to jointly improve the quality of life of the Sea Gypsies.
