Multisector Innovations to Build Thailand’s Demographic Resilience Future At the Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) 2026, UNFPA Thailand convened a high-level multisector dialogue on how Thailand can strengthen demographic resilience amid rapid population ageing and sustained low fertility. Khun Siriluck Chiengwong, Head of Office, UNFPA Thailand, framed demographic resilience as a life-cycle, rights-based, and multisector agenda—calling for a shift from population size to population quality, grounded in gender equality, healthy ageing, and coordinated public–private action aligned with the 14th National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP). Key takeaway: 🔸Khun Montip Sumpunthawong, Director, Human Resource and Social Development Strategy Division, NESDC – highlighted ageing and workforce decline as binding structural constraints, stressing cross-ministerial coordination and productivity-driven human capital investment. 🔸Dr. Natthapong Kunthawong, Director, Bureau of Elderly Health, Ministry of Public Health – emphasized the urgent transition from acute care to Healthy Ageing across the life course. 🔸Khun Thapanee Indradat, Director, International Cooperation Sub-Division, Division of Strategy and Plan, Department of Older Persons (DOP), Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) underscored rising pressures on families and communities, calling for sustainable community-based long-term care through professionalization and financing innovation. 🔸Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suriyadeo Tripathi, Director, Moral Promotion Center (Public Organization) – linked moral index, behavioral indicators, wellbeing, and behavioral capital to long-term productivity and social resilience. 🔸Dr. Youngyuth Mayalarp, President, Thai Lifestyle Medicine & Wellbeing Association – stressed lifestyle medicine, investment in health from early-life disease prevention, and healthy environments as foundations for healthy longevity. 🔸Khun Karnmanee Mitisubin, Senior Government & Public Affairs Manager, AstraZeneca (Thailand) – highlighted the role of early detection and prevention technologies, including AI, and the need for clear and predictable policy frameworks to scale public–private collaboration. Thailand’s demographic resilience depends on system readiness—integrating health, care systems, prevention, data, and innovation through sustained multisector partnerships. As a technical and policy advisor, UNFPA Thailand remains committed to convening evidence-based dialogue and supporting national implementation toward an inclusive, ageing-ready society. #PMAC2026 #DemographicResilience #LifeCycleApproach #AgeingSociety #EvidenceBasedPolicy #UNFPAThailand

Shaping Policies for a Super-Aged Society Through Rights-Based and Inclusive Care for All Groups, All Genders and All Ages. On 31 July 2025, policymakers, experts, and development partners gathered in Bangkok for the International Policy Forum on Super-Aged Society, “Strengthening Inclusive and Equitable Care Systems in the Context of an Ageing Society”, exchanging strategies to ensure that ageing populations can live with dignity, security, and equal opportunities. The discussions underscored the need for a life-cycle approach to ageing that connects generations, combining gender equality, intergenerational solidarity, and sustainable care systems to build an inclusive society where no one is left behind. UNFPA Thailand, gave a keynote on “Promoting a Rights-Based and Life-Cycle Approach to Inclusive Care Across Generations” and highlighted how rights-based and people-centered policies—spanning youth empowerment, working-age support, and ageing with dignity—are key to adapting to Thailand’s demographic transition. As one of the co-hosts of the forum, UNFPA Thailand was proud to join hands with the Department of Older Persons (DOP), Chulalongkorn University, Mahidol University, HelpAge International, Asian Development Bank (ADB), ASEAN Center for Active Ageing and Innovation (ACAI), ASEM Global Ageing Center (AGAC), Health System Research Institute, Alliance on Longevity in Asia-Pacific (ALAP), Tsao Foundation, Social Work Professions Council, Foundation of Thai Gerontology Research and Development institute (TGRI), FOPDEV, Kenan Foundation Asia, and other key institutions in convening this important platform to advance policy reforms, innovative models, and cross-sector strategies for inclusive and equitable care systems. With a strong focus on intergenerational solidarity, gender equality, and sustainable care, the forum emphasized the urgency of collaborative action to ensure that care is not only accessible, but valued—ensuring no one is left behind in Thailand’s demographic transition. #SuperAgedSociety #LeaveNoOneBehind #RightsBasedApproach #LifeCycleApproach
