| Abstract | This review paper has two objectives. First, to study ageing policies in countries noted for good practice, including Norway, Japan, and Singapore. Second, to undertake a preliminary analysis of ageing policies among the three abovementioned countries with Thailand. The review paper was based on secondary data to explain the existing knowledge on ageing policies in the targeted countries. then Walt and Gibson model (1994) was used to analyze the secondary data. It was found that in terms of context, Norway, Japan, and Singapore have positive economic and social infrastructure with a high ratio of ageing populations. Thailand is a newly industrialized country with higher poverty sector than these three other countries. With regard to content, the policies of the three exampled countries cover health insurance, medical care, short-term and long-term accommodation, extended retirement, and new technology use. In contrast, a greater proportion of Thai elder programs emphasize many forms of social assistance due to the higher proportion of elderly under the poverty line. Regarding major mechanisms, Norway has their Government Pension Fund-Global; Japan has Long-term Care Insurance; Singapore has a Central Provident Fund and health. Thailand has a Social Security Fund elderly allowance. The main policy actors in Norway’s Fund are the local government and volunteers; Japan’s includes local government, profit and non-profit social entrepreneurs, and social capital; Singapore’s are public and private agencies, and Thailand’s include government agencies and local government. Finally, the paper recommends some guidelines for the future Thai ageing society. |
