People's Agenda (Thai: วาระประชาชน; RTGS: Wara Prachachon) is a policy under the Democrat party that implements the concept of “policy for the people by the people”, which is consistent with the idea that “People must come first”.[1] Thailand's Prime Minister announced that People's Agenda rested on three pillars: restoring investor's confidence, new investments to improve national competitiveness, and investments in people.[2]
The policy aims to solve Thailand's four crises: Unity crisis, Cost of living and poverty, Competition crisis, and Moral crisis. Through the projects, it would increase employment and income, restructure public debt, improve and resolve problems related to living conditions, quality of life, and community environments. It would create economic security and social stability for senior citizens, as well as ensuring that everyone is provided with access to 15 years’ cost-free education, and lastly also promote stable economic growth.[3]
The economy under People's Agenda must be “Quality Economy”; the growth must not be measured by just one year. Therefore, growth must be balanced with stability. Growth must be sustainable and just.
