Thailand's population in 2013 is estimated to stand at 67 million, compared to 55.2 million in 1989, according to the US Bureau of the Census. In recent years, the population growth rate has slowed down substantially, from averaged 1.05 in the years 1988-1998 to 0.5 in 2008-2013. These downturns are achieved thanks to the successful enactment of national level family planning program.

Notably, Thailand has a youthful population with overwhelming percentage of young people in the ages of 15 and 54, 60.7 percent. The powerful force of the youth, hence, plays a vital role in Thai development and helps to boost the vibrant and colorful whirl of the country’s life.
