In November 1994, the authors surveyed the diffusion of durable consumer goods, together with parental occupations, for 1,835 pupils in northern Thailand. A remarkable disparity in the level of living was recognized between the plain land peoples (Thai and Han) and the hill tribes (Karen, Hmong and Lisu). The Han have obvious economical advantages. Consumer life of the Thai is fairly high and follows that of the Han. Meanwhile, the hill tribes are compelled to live in poverty, which is far lower than of the above two. Bipolarization is observed in each tribe in the amount of monetary conversion of durable consumer goods per household. Father's occupations of the plain land peoples are ranked among relatively high income sectors. Those of the hill tribes are concentrated in agriculture. One-fourth of mother's occupations of the plain land peoples occupies the housewives' and "the unemployed," since most of the hill tribe mothers are compelled to work for household expenses.
