Publication Metadata only Prospects and contexts of demographic transitions in Thailand(2018-01-01) Pramote Prasartkul; Suchada Thaweesit; Sutthida Chuanwan; Mahidol University© 2019 Journal of Population and Social Studies. Thailand is facing an era of the "second demographic transition" in which the falling of fertility and mortality rates occur simultaneously. The country's birth rates are now below replacement... of population configurations today now affect the country's social, economic, political, and public health landscapes to a certain degree. This article proposes that the emergence of Thailand's demographic burden today is a result of demographic transitionsPublication Open Access Changes in the epidemiological transition in Thailand due to HIV/AIDS: implications for population and health policies(2003-01) Patchara Rumakom; Pramote Prasartkul; ปราโมทย์ ประสาทกุล; Guest, Philip; Varachai Thongthai; วรชัย ทองไทย; Sureeporn Punpuing; สุรีย์พร พันพึ่ง; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. สถาบันวิจัยประชากรและสังคมThis study aims to estimate the impact of the re-emergence of tuberculosis and pneumonia on Thai mortality and explores how it challenges the epidemiological transition theory. The 1970 to 2000 national, annual age-sex death rates by cause of death... were calculated using Ministry of Public Health death registration data. The results indicated that death rates from infectious diseases in Thailand declined until 1986(4.5 per 1,000 population),only to start rising in 1987. There was a sharp increasePublication Metadata only Epidemiologic transition interrupted: A reassessment of mortality trends in Thailand, 1980-2000(2007-04-01) Kenneth Hill(K.; Patama Vapattanawong; Pramote Prasartkul; Yawarat Porapakkham; Stephen S. Lim; Alan D. Lopez; Harvard School of Public Health; Mahidol University; Thailand Ministry of Public Health; University of Queenslandthe epidemiological transition in Thailand is relatively unknown. Methods: Under-five mortality rates (U5MR) were determined from various sources and weighted least squares regression conducted to determine U5MR over the years 1980-2000. Direct and indirect estimates... time periods. Results: U5MR in Thailand is estimated to have been 58/1000 live births in 1980, declining to 30 in 1990 and to 23 in 2000. The vital registration system clearly underestimates U5MR. Successive surveys of Population Change (SPC) implyPublication Metadata only From whom do older persons prefer support? The case of rural Thailand(2014-12-01) Jongjit Rittirong; Pramote Prasartkul; Ronald R. Rindfuss; Mahidol University; Carolina Population Centervillages in Nang Rong district, northeastern Thailand. Thailand and the study site represent the social and economic conditions faced by many rapidly industrializing places-where there has been a dramatic demographic transition (lowered fertilityPublication Open Access Incompleteness of registration data on centenarians in Thailand(2012-01) Sutthida Chuanwan; ศุทธิดา ชวนวัน; Pramote Prasartkul; ปราโมทย์ ประสาทกุล; Aphichat Chamratrithirong; อภิชาติ จำรัสฤทธิรงค์; Patama Vapattanawong; ปัทมา ว่าพัฒนวงศ์; Hirschman, Charles; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social ResearchThis study aims to estimate the number of centenarians—the population aged 100 years and over, and to assess the quality of registration data about the elderly population in Thailand. Data were taken from population censuses, life tables constructed... from the Survey of Population Change (SPC), regional model life tables, and records in civil registration. Life expectancies of centenarian cohorts were derived from SPC life tables. Model life tables of corresponding levels were applied to determinePublication Open Access Perceived negative and positive impacts of redefining older persons in Thailand(2015-01) Rossarin Soottipong Gray; Umaporn Pattaravanich; Chalermpol Chamchan; Pramote Prasartkul; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social Research“Older” in many countries has been defined as a chronological age of either 60 or 65 years or older. Due to a rapidly growing aging population in Thailand, as well as state welfare payments and improved health, this study aims to explore how ThaiPublication Open Access Availability of adult children with elderly parents and their spatial patterns: evidence from a rural district, northeastern Thailand(2013-01) Jongjit Rittirong; จงจิตต์ ฤทธิรงค์; Pramote Prasartkul; ปราโมทย์ ประสาทกุล; Rindfuss, Ronald R.; Mahidol University. Institute for Population and Social ResearchIn many parts of the developing world, massive movement of young adults from rural to urban areas has been occurring, raising the question of family support for rural elderly. This study investigates whether rural elderly in Northeast Thailand have children living in their village, if yes, how close to the elderly's dwelling unit, and what determines the availability of children. Traditionally, Thai elderly in rural areas rely on their kin as care givers, especially their children. This study employs a rich longitudinal data set containing individual -, household -, and village - level characteristics. Social network data are used to measure child - parent ties within the village. Geographic information system (GIS) techniques are used to measure the distance between the elderly to their nearest son and/or daughter. Logistic regression models are estimated to understand demographic and economic factors related to the availability of children. Despite high rural - urban migration, most elderly have children living in the village. The preference for matrilocal residence is evidenced by patterns of co - residence and distances between non - co - residing children and their parents. These patterns are consistent with evidence from the qualitative part of the study. In the logistic regression analyses, demographic factors are found to be consistently more important than socio - economic factors.
