Abstract: This paper discusses the important findings of the Fourth Population and Family Survey conducted by NPFDB in 2004. This study is the fourth in a series of Malaysian Population and Family Survey (MPFS) conducted every ten years since 1974. In 2004, this study was for the first time conducted simultaneously for the whole of Malaysia. In contrast to the previous MPFS, MPFS-4 interviewed households consisting of five (5) categories, (a) Women aged 15 to 49 years, (b) Husbands of married women, (c) Adolescents aged 13 to 24 years, (d) Citizens aged 50 years and above, and (e) single residents aged 25 to 49 years. This study aims to provide time series data related to demographic and socio-economic information in particular the relationship between population, family and human reproduction with development. The results of the study are used to evaluate the effectiveness of existing development programs and also used as input in the preparation of the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP). In this study data analysis was performed for the three areas separately. Among the important findings include: 1) Age structure of the population, 2) burden of dependents, 3) Delayed marriages, 4) Fertility, 5) Family planning, 6) Health practices, 7) Household composition, 8) Female labor force participation, 9) Child care, 10) The elderly, and 11) Adolescent social and sexual behavior.

Population distribution, urbanisation, internal migration and development
Item Type: Newsletter
Editor:
Year: 00/07/2008
Abstract: Malaysia is currently experiencing an increase in population mobility mainly caused by industrialization and urbanization. Between 1970 and 2006, the proportion of population living in big cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bharu had doubled due to rapid urbanization mainly contributed by internal migration. This trend in internal migration has resulted in population redistribution due to an influx of people to the urban areas.

Population ageing
Item Type: Newsletter
Editor:
Year: 00/01/2008
Abstract: According to United Nation’s estimates, 21 percent of the population in the developed countries was aged 60 years or over in 2005. This proportion is projected to increase to 28 percent in 2025 and 32 per cent in 2050. In countries where economies are in transition, the average proportion of the population aged 60 years or over was estimated at only 8 percent in 2005 but is expected to reach 13 percent by 2025 and nearly 20 percent by 2050. Thus, the number of older persons in the developing countries will likely more than double between 2005 and 2025. This increase is much larger than in the developed countries compared to countries where the economies are in transition, where the number of older persons will grow by about 44 percent and 32 percent respectively during the same period.

The changing age structures of population and their implications for development: the case of Malaysia
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/00/2008
Abstract: The transition from a regime of high mortality and high fertility to one of low mortality and low fertility in Malaysia is a relative recent phenomenon compared to the experience of developed countries. Unlike most developed countries where the demographic transition occurred in the early or mid-nineteenth century, in Malaysia the transition started in the immediate post World War II period, beginning with a reduction in mortality. The crude death rate in 1947 was about 20 deaths per thousand population, which has since declined drastically to a very low level of 4.5 deaths per thousand population in 2006. At present, the crude death rate in Malaysia is much lower than those of the developed countries. Such rapid decline was due to the availability of modern medical and health facilities besides the general improvement in socio-economic conditions of the country. This very low rate is attributed to the young age structure of the Malaysian population.
