| Abstract | This study examines the influence of public policy on the transformation of Thailand's labor force structure into an entrepreneurial economy. The aim is to analyze existing policy frameworks, identify structural and institutional constraints within Thailand's entrepreneurial ecosystem, and provide a comprehensive multi-tiered policy framework at the national, regional, and local levels. The study employs a qualitative documentary methodology in conjunction with policy analysis. Data was gathered from national policy documents, economic development strategies, legislation, regulatory frameworks, and academic literature cataloged in both international and national databases. The analysis was guided by the principles of human capital, structural transformation, entrepreneurial economy, and multi-tiered governance. The results demonstrate that although Thailand shows significant entrepreneurial activity, the workforce is mainly defined by informal employment and micro-enterprises, which have limited scalability and productivity. Current policies demonstrate strengths in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship strategically; however, significant challenges persist in policy coordination, institutional integration, access to gro significant policy wth-oriented financing, and the alignment of educational outcomes with entrepreneurial skills. The analysis reveals significant policy shortcomings related to fragmented governance, uneven regional development, and insufficient support for innovation-oriented enterprises. The study promotes a multi-faceted policy framework that emphasizes competency-based entrepreneurial education, legislative and institutional change, funding methods for scaling, and the creation of regionally adapted entrepreneurial ecosystems. The results demonstrate that public policy is crucial for improving entrepreneurial participation and influencing the quality, scalability, and structural influence of entrepreneurship on sustained productivity growth and economic transformation. |
