Despite well-documented labor exploitation, research has typically focused on single nationalities, overlooked the interplay of structural and individual factors, and largely excluded Thai workers from comparative analyses. This study addresses these gaps by comparing the experiences of Thai, Indonesian, and Bangladeshi migrants on plantations along the Thai-Malaysian border. The study uses in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, field observations, and NGO input. A four-dimensional framework-structural, institutional, social, and individual-guides the analysis. Findings reveal that nationality-based vulnerability is generated through the interaction of global commodity chain pressures, governance failures, social network structures, and individual constraints. While all three groups occupy precarious, second-tier positions in the labor market, important differences emerge: Bangladeshi workers are concentrated in the highest-risk roles, earning less than 900 MYR per month and burdened by heavy employment debts; Indonesians fill a wider variety of jobs with moderate debts and earnings ranging from 600-1,300 MYR; Thai workers, mostly near the border, have lower debt and greater mobility, but remain highly vulnerable due to their undocumented status. Contrary to expectations from formal bilateral agreements, most Thai migrants enter Malaysia through informal networks, leaving them outside all institutional protection. Theoretically, the study introduces the concept of infrastructure shortcomings to capture how exclusion from regulatory frameworks-not just their distortion-creates risk for migrants, expanding Sunam's notion of unstable infrastructure. The paper also develops the idea of secondary stratification within multi-national labor markets and distinguishes between freedom of exit and freedom of expression as distinct political dimensions. These contributions highlight the need for policy reforms that address both specific vulnerabilities and overarching structural barriers: employer-tied work permits, exclusion from union protections, and the institutional invisibility of undocumented migrants.</p>","PeriodicalId":36297,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sociology","volume":"11 ","pages":"1865798"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13533799/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148881829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This comparative critical policy and evidence synthesis examines how sexuality education commitments are implemented in South Africa and Sweden, two rights-oriented but structurally different systems. South Africa formally locates comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) within Life Skills and Life Orientation and has developed national HIV, STI, and TB policy commitments and scripted lesson plans to support implementation. Sweden has a longer history of compulsory school sexuality education and, following curricular amendments implemented in 2022, uses the policy terminology sexuality, consent and relationships (SCR), with responsibility distributed across subjects and school actors. Guided by critical interpretive synthesis, policy triangle analysis and implementation scholarship, we conducted a structured identification and verification process across official policy repositories, monitoring reports, Swepub, Libris, Libsearch, publisher records, PubMed/PMC, Google Scholar and DOI records. Evidence was eligible when it addressed school-based policy content, educator practice, learner experience, inclusion of marginalised learners, teacher education, curriculum resources, inspection/monitoring or implementation support in either country. The synthesis indicates that South Africa and Sweden share an implementation problem but not the same implementation mechanism. South Africa illustrates implementation fragility: a legitimate CSE mandate is repeatedly destabilised before inclusive enactment becomes routine through uneven educator preparation, moral contestation, resource constraints, school-level variability and selective silencing of sexual and gender diversity. Sweden illustrates implementation drift: an institutionalised SCR architecture may lose equity depth through subject-dispersed responsibility, assumptions of progressiveness, variable teacher education, uneven learner participation and persistent silences around culture, religion, racism, disability, intersex, and asexuality. The concepts of fragility and drift extend existing language of implementation gaps by identifying distinct mechanisms through which policy commitments become weakened. Both contexts require sustained teacher education, stronger school-level coordination, meaningful youth participation, marginalised-learner monitoring, inclusive-resource audits and accountability indicators that assess what learners actually experience in classrooms.</p>","PeriodicalId":36297,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sociology","volume":"11 ","pages":"1900545"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13529556/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148876133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
