Thailand Population Aged 60+ by 2030
~20–22% of total population
Thailand is aging faster than most ASEAN peers: the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) project that persons aged 60 and above will constitute approximately 20–22% of Thailand's total population by 2030, up from roughly 13% in 2015. This demographic trajectory — driven by a total fertility rate that has fallen below 1.5 — is placing long-term care (LTC) infrastructure demand well ahead of current supply. The Ministry of Public Health's Long-Term Care Fund under the National Health Security Office (NHSO) provides a basic LTC benefit for low-income elderly, but coverage for assisted-living and dementia-care needs remains severely underdeveloped.
