The rapidly ageing population is among the top economic concerns for Thailand. According to a study by the National Statistical Office, only 5.8% of respondents believe they have adequate funds for retirement. This creates a considerable income protection gap in later years, underlining the need for insurance planning. In addition, based on the projection of the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), this year, Thailand is becoming a 'Complete Aged Society', which means that 20% of the total population is aged 60 or above. And by 2031, the country will be classed as a 'Super Aged Society', where senior citizens will account for more than 28% of the population.

Ms. Angela Hunter, Country President of Chubb Life Thailand, said

"To achieve a comfortable and secure retirement, it is crucial to start building a financial cushion that will fund your anticipated needs and lifestyle for later in life. One day you are celebrating your first salary and before you know it, your colleagues will be cutting a cake for your retirement. Future living expenses, health emergencies and the ever increasing medical costs must all be accounted for in your retirement planning. It is easy to fall short on your long-term goals, which is why it's vital to plan retirement early, securing a sufficient fund early on", she added.
 

Apart from having a provident fund and savings, an effective way to guarantee a recurring retirement income is with retirement planning insurance. The best retirement plan starts early in your career; with the average work-life being approximately 30 to 40 years, the earlier you plan, the lower the financial burden will be, helping you pave the way to your desired retirement lifestyle.
