SITUATION OF THE THAI ELDERY 2022

Overall, the primary sources of income of the older Thais were from their own work, and transfers or welfare from the government, especially in the form of the state old-age allowance, which has been increasing in proportion. Meanwhile, the reliance on income from children or family support has been declining. The reliance on savings and assets of Thai older persons remains relatively low. Over the past two decades, it has been observed that the proportion of individuals aged 60 years or older who continue to work and earn income from employment in Thailand has been decreasing.
