Thailand's NESDB proposes a support system to encourage Generation Y to adopt a more proactive, socially responsible, and career-focused lifestyle.
The board identifies Gen Y as the largest, most educated, and tech-savvy labor group, but notes their tendencies for poor financial planning, late marriage, and health neglect, which could lead to population decline and labor shortages.
Recommendations include policies to enable millennials to balance family and elderly care with work efficiency, alongside affordable nurseries, welfare homes for the elderly, and a comprehensive social security system.
