According to the demographic database of all sources, Thailand has entered an aging society over the last decade. The trend will continue into the future at a remarkable pace. Among the many influencing aspects of demographic changes is an issue of critical importance – the quality of life of the elderly population. In respect to human capital, the level of educational attainment of the majority of the Thai elderly is relatively low. Only 1 out of 10 is educated above the high school level. This factor could be contributing to their limited access to information, access to health and social services, and opportunity in the workforce.
