Thailand will be ‘super-aged’ by 2029
Due to a decrease in the population in the past three years, Thailand is expected to become a super-aged society by 2029, according to research conducted by Kasikorn Research Centre (KResearch).
The research also shows the number of newborns and adolescents between 2020 and 2022 has fallen.
Researchers said the number of newborns started to fall sharply in 2020 — the year the pandemic was discovered — and continued to decrease over the next two years, while the fatality rate also increased during the same period.
