new2here Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 3 hours ago, darksidedog said: I feel the problem is less one of fertility and more one about finance. Raising kids is not cheap and many Thais have worked out that none, one or two is better for them than half a dozen hungry mouths to feed. I agree... While my experience is limited to a very very small pool of females in this age/circumstance range... but of the ones that i do know, many have said the exact same thing about having kids... Most like/love the idea of children (2 or more) but many said the economics are hard and many said to me that they saw firsthand when they were kids (from households of 2-4 kids) how hard it was for their parents to make the economics work ... plus many of the women also said that they’d finished university and now would like to work and develop a career based on their degree ... and they also want to have some amount of savings put aside. what i also heard from many was that that they planned to “raise” their kids alone rather than with the biological father as it wasn’t necessary - many of my female colleagues are from single parent (mom) households. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo2014 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 One of the great failings of the nationalistic government has to deter immigration to Thailand. Thailand has, for the time being, higher wages and a better standard of living than its neighbors. This is a golden time to address the serious demographic cliff the country is about to fall off. When it does, the stock market will crash, property prices will crash and serious reforms will be needed. This can be avoided and prosperity guaranteed by enabling immigration of the best, brightest and hardest working in the region, not to mention the vast numbers of Chinese and even westerners who would happily immigrate. Tragic lost opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 'birthrate had fallen below 600,000 newborns' 'major cause for concern' Oh hum. Birthrate was 760,000 newborns in 2010 and expected to fall below 700,000 during the 20 years. www.hiso.or.th/hiso/picture/reportHealth2012/eng2012_4.pdf As t's been Prayut's "government" from mid-2013 to the present, lack of concern AND action has led to a greater than anticipated decline.

Thecritic Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 5 hours ago, webfact said: Plunging birth rate a major cause for concern in Thailand Picture: Daily News A leader in the field of gynaecology and obstetrics in Bangkok has said that an alarming drop in the birth rate has to be addressed now. With women having babies later in life or not at all there are big problems associated with an ageing population and lack of people in the workforce. A big rise in people giving birth to children with Down syndrome is also happening. Dr Kamthorn Phreuksananon of the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said that the birth rate had fallen below 600,000 newborns. The Total Fertility Rates - TFR - are now at 1.51 persons. The WHO and World Bank say that the figure needs to be at least 2.1 to avoid problems associated with ageing populations and lack of manpower in the workforce. Japan has experienced such problems, he said, after the birthrate there fell to 1.6. Now Thailand is even worse. The country used to have a birthrate of 5.1 but it has steadily decreased over the years. Women are having babies later or not at all and now the situation is getting critical with little action. He warned that it would be at 1.3 in ten years if nothing is done. The number of children being born with Down syndrome is getting worse as a consequence. Women under 35 have a 1 in 800 chance of giving birth to a baby with Downs syndrome. For over 35 it is 1 in 350. For over 40s it rises to 1 in a 100. Daily News said that according to sources plans are afoot to increase allowances for people seeking fertility treatment as a means of boosting the birthrate among those who are having difficulty conceiving.

Economic conditions have made people tense and in a atmosphere where people are surviving to make ends meet they cannot think of making babies. 2. There is no privileges for the mother or parents similar to abroad where there is a minimum 6 month paid leave by the government even for public sector and support money for minimum 6 months to one year and free birth delivery in hospital paid by government plus other benifits . 3. Gay population has been increasing so there's less men available per women. 3. Irresponsible male behavior has driven woman to not get married and stuck in a relationship or vice versa. 4.which also is a cause for prostitution. 5.lack of free quality education is another reason of low living standards.

Don't doubt what you are seeing, but financial realities of mechanization and urbanization are definitely chipping away at rural attitudes about having large families. If you doubt whether this is having an effect, do some checking and see how many of those kids you're seeing are living with both parents. Newborn infants of course are going to be with their mothers, but I'll wager that the majority of kids over five have at least one parent working away from home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, hilly terrain does not lend itself to farm mechanization so there may be a greater need for farm labor, thus having large families may make more sense. Also, hill tribe communities have traditionally been more insular and suffered from discrimination in urban settings, so there may be more resistance to urbanization than in other parts of Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sead Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 never understood how fewer born could be a problem. Thank God theres lesser population. Atleast in Thailand they dont give a dime for the elders so whats the problem?

There is obviously a problem with the local population and their work ethic! Take Australia as a comparison, 5 times the size of Thailand, population 26 million, operates so much more efficiently than Thailand and does'nt rely on foreign labor. Speaks volumes of what is wrong in Thailand! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
