This paper analyzes the occupational changes and upward mobility of urban low-incomeresidents in Bangkok, using macro and micro data including field survey. In traditionaltheory, the image of upward mobility tends to be linear; that is, it assumes movement fromthe Informal Economy to the Formal Economy, from informal to modern sectors. However,analysis shows that the actual pattern of occupational paths and people's perceptions ofupward mobility is different from the assumptions found in traditional theory. First, theoccupational opportunity of lower-class changes within amacro context and people choosetheir occupations by interacting with these changes. Therefore, their occupational pathsare not linear. Second, for most workers, the final goal is not participation in the FormalEconomy but the Informal Economy.
