Thailand Population

Thailand’s population growth has slowed significantly over the past several decades. During the mid-20th century, the country experienced rapid population increases, with annual growth rates exceeding 3% in the 1960s. However, successful government-led family planning programs and increased access to education and healthcare have contributed to a sharp decline in fertility rates. As of 2024, Thailand’s population is estimated to be around 71 million, with an annual growth rate of less than 0.3%. The country is now facing challenges associated with an aging population, including a shrinking workforce and increased demand for elderly care, prompting concerns about future economic growth and social support systems.
