    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Thailand has experienced a significant fertility decline over the past two decades.
    • Concerns arose that the fertility decline might be slowing above replacement levels, based on earlier survey data.
    • Understanding current fertility trends is crucial for population planning and public health initiatives.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the recent momentum of fertility decline in Thailand.
    • To evaluate whether fertility rates have stabilized above replacement levels.
    • To project future fertility trends in the Thai population.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of retrospective fertility trends using recent national survey data.
    • Integration of national registration data to corroborate survey findings.

  • Examination of expected and preferred family sizes among women of reproductive age.

    • Main Results:

    • New evidence contradicts concerns of a stalled fertility decline.
    • Fertility trends indicate a continued decline, not a plateau above replacement fertility.
    • Low expected and preferred family sizes suggest sustained low fertility.

    Conclusions:

    • The fertility decline in Thailand has not lost momentum.
    • Sustained low fertility is anticipated for the Thai population in the coming years.
    • This trend has significant implications for Thailand's demographic future and policy-making.
