#Pronatalism

The world’s rapidly declining birth rates have ignited a cultural, political, and economic debate that has reached new prominence in 2025. Concerns surrounding fertility decline, its impacts on social structures, and emerging “pronatalist” movements—those actively promoting higher birth rates—have transitioned from quieter academic discussions to mainstream headlines in Thailand and beyond. The issue isn’t simply statistical: it touches on the future of economies, generational care, cultural norms, and even environmental discussions, prompting stakeholders across the globe to rethink whether “more babies” is the solution to looming demographic challenges.
