Thailand's record lowest birth rate in 50 years has prompted the authorities to encourage the public to procreate more. As part of a long-term campaign, Deputy Minister of Public Health, Sathit Pitutecha, recently suggested the Thai Health Promotion Organization ask social media influencers to share their stories about having a loving family when they are ready, how much fun they have raising kids and to basically set a good example.
In a video interview with Spring News, he insisted that these influencers won't be paid for helping out, following harsh criticism over this idea by netizens. His reasoning is that young people who follow these influencers and celebrities would be inspired to start a family because they like to imitate these influencers.
