Demographic Transition Model
Thailand's demographic transition is 4, in my opinion. The birth rate and death rates are relatively low and the natural increase is low as well. The population growth is at a stable 34%, which isn't too high but its not dangerously low yet. The life expectancy is a good 74 years, which fits in perfectly with what a country should have at stage 4. The fertility is extremely low which shows that there are probably more educated and working women, and that marriage is being delayed. The healthcare, food, medical care, and sanitation are clearly improving in Thailand. Thailand is a well developed country, so stage 4 is a good label for its demographic transition.
