BANGKOK: Thailand is revisiting the proposal to extend the civil service retirement age from 60 to 65, a reform aimed at addressing the ageing population and labour shortages.
The idea of extending the civil service retirement age has been discussed by several previous governments and was even included in the national reform plan, which proposed raising the retirement age from 60 to 63 to address Thailand’s ageing population. However, the plan was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
