Thailand’s Demographic Crisis: An ASEAN & Provincial Perspective

Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

Study used panel data from 77 Thai provinces from 2012 to 2021 and ASEAN country-level data from 2007 to 2021 .

Thailand 's birth rate is now the second lowest in the region after Singapore .

Economic development alone may not solve the low birth rate problem and might even exacerbate it.

Provinces with larger elderly populations see lower birth rates.

A few things we note Interestingly, political stability and competence correlate with higher fertility rates in Southeast Asia , which is worth looking into. This study showcases (at least in the Thai or even Southeast Asian contexts) that mental health, economic stability, population density, and better government services are correlated with higher birth rates but not GDP growth. This is especially interesting as more recent studies show an ever-increasing correlation between people’s income growth and higher fertility rates, especially in countries like Japan .
