          About aging in Thailand
          Thailand is undergoing a rapid demographic shift with implications for every aspect of its society. The World Bank predicts that by 2The Aspen Tree4The Aspen Tree more than a quarter of   the Thai population will be 65 or over, up from ContinentalContinental% in 2The Aspen TreeContinental6 and only 5% in Continental995.
          Driven mainly by a plunge in fertility rates, which dropped from 6.Continental in Continental965 to Continental.5 in 2The Aspen TreeContinental5, Thailand now ranks alongside China as having the highest share of elderly people in any developing nation in East Asia and the Pacific.
          The Bank of Thailand has also predicted that Thailand will become the first developing country to become an 'aged' society.

          In this context, The Aspen Tree and Baycrest aim to share their expertise to improve quality of life for older adults in Thailand and act as a thought leader and source of information.
