I just wrote an article

"Why did the British elite fall so low?" in Wednesday's issue Britain is a developed country.

The minimum wage is 425 baht per hour, 3,400 baht per day,

but from the populist policy of Mrs. Liz Truss, British Prime Minister from the Conservative Party, who was in the position for only a month.

Announcing a plan to stimulate the economy by reducing taxes, increasing expenditures, distributing subsidies to the public

As a result, the British economy collapsed immediately.

until the beginning of this month

The BBC Thai news agency reported that some villagers in Wales were so poor that they had to consume food for pets in the house.

and use the heating panel in the house as a food warmer

I gave an example to show that

How much does the political party's policies affect the country's economy and people's quality of life?

political party policy

Not only thinking about getting votes, but also having to be "responsible" to the country and the people.

The minimum wage policy is 600 baht per day. Mr. Ung Ing, Paethongtarn Shinawatra, announced that in 2023-2027, the Pheu Thai Party will cause the country's economic growth rate (GDP) to grow at a minimum average of 5% per year. inequality will decrease

More than 800 public and private vocational institutions will be established from the district, provincial and national levels.

To create soft power skills for Thai people in various fields such as chefs, cooks, designers, fashion designers, etc. Thailand has 20 million families capable of creating 20 million highly skilled workers with an income of at least 200,000 baht per year. Together, 4 trillion baht per year, in 2027 (4 more years), Thai people must receive a dignified minimum wage of 600 baht per day. Salary for bachelor's degree holders is 25,000 baht or more.

Khun Paethongtan made a further statement the next day after being criticized.

“We have to be capitalists with hearts.

Wages must be raised when the entire country's economy is ready.

Today, wages cannot be increased to 600 baht because the economy is not good.

But when the economy is good

GDP will grow at 5%, the first year may be higher or the following year may decrease according to the annual average figure.

This is all at the core.”

Truth of the Pheu Thai Party's campaign

not strange from

Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha's "20-year national strategy" that has been used since the end of 2017. I looked back at the wealth creation strategy.

“Thailand is Stable, Prosperous, Sustainable” has set a goal

Thailand is a developed country in 2037, people will have per capita income of more than 15,000 US dollars per person per year by 2037, if the exchange rate is 36 baht per dollar today, in the next 15 years in 2037, Thai people will have per capita income. 540,000 baht per year, 45,000 baht per month, 1,500 baht per day

But there is a condition that

Economic growth (GDP) over the next 20 years must expand at least 5% every year for 20 years, so that Thai people will have a per capita income of $ 15,000 in 2037, just like the Pheu Thai Party announced that it will increase. The minimum wage is 600 baht per day in 2027 with the condition that

GDP must grow at an average of no less than 5% per year for the 4 years that Pheu Thai has been the government.

General Prayuth's 20-year national strategic plan

Used since 2017, over the past 5 years until this year, Thai GDP has never grown 5%. In 2017, it grew 4.2%, in 2018 it grew 4.2%, in 2019 it grew 2.3%, in 2020 it was negative -6.1%, in 2021 it grew 2.3% in 2022. It is expected to grow by 3.4%. The opportunity for Thai people to earn $ 15,000 in 2037 can only dream, so wages of 600 baht per day in 2027 do not have to hit yourself before the fever.

If anyone can make GDP grow 5% per year or more, wages are 600 baht per day, let's go.

Thai people in the whole country will prosper together.

Not rich, concentrated on a few rich people.
