Thailand's Demographic Shift

Population Growth, Aging Trend, and Fertility Rate (1960-2022)

Total Population Growth

This chart illustrates the substantial growth in Thailand's total population, rising from approximately 27 million in 1960 to over 71 million in 2022.

Shifting Age Demographics (% of Total Population)

This chart visualizes the changing proportions of three key age groups. Note the declining share of the young population (0-14) and the significant increase in the elderly population (65+), a clear indicator of an aging society.

Total Fertility Rate (TFR)

The Total Fertility Rate represents the average number of children a woman would have in her lifetime. Thailand's TFR has seen a dramatic decline, falling well below the replacement level of 2.1, which is a major factor in population aging.
