The article discusses Thailand's aging population, noting that the country became an aged society in 2022 and transitioned to a super-aged society in 2021. Thailand has grown old before becoming wealthy, and it currently lacks sufficient resources to care for its aging population.

The West is facing significant challenges due to an aging population and a shortage of workers to adequately fund essential social programs. This creates a substantial burden on younger generations.

I have attached the graphs from the article that illustrate the aging populations.

This is the UN classification:

Young society: Less than 7% of the population is age 65+

Aging society: 7%–14% is age 65+

Aged society: 14%–21% is age 65+

Super-aged society: More than 21% is age 65+

Cambodia will be a power to recon with in the coming decades.
