Item Type: Book Section
Editor:
Year: 00/12/2023
Abstract: Increasing teen pregnancy cases are becoming a serious public health concern in both developing and developed nations for past decades. Teenage pregnancy occurs among adolescent girls between 10 and 19 years old. A recent study reveals that 14 out of every 1,000 female teenagers in Malaysia become pregnant every year. Such prevalence suggests there is still a lack of general understanding of reproductive health matters among the teenagers.

Prevalens dan faktor yang mempengaruhi penggunaan perancang keluarga dalam kalangan wanita umur reproduktif di Malaysia
Item Type: Book Section
Editor:
Year: 13/12/2023
Abstract: Family planning enables women to control pregnancy, plan family size, determine the timing of pregnancies, and space out births. Given that family planning practices reduce unwanted pregnancies and high-risk pregnancies, universal access to family planning has become a key indicator in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2023 Agenda.
Despite positive evidence on family planning practices, the contraceptive use rate in Malaysia has remained around 50 percent since 1984. The aim of this study is to measure knowledge, prevalence, and factors influencing contraceptive use among ever-married women of reproductive age (15-49 years) across Malaysia.
This study employs a quantitative approach through a cross-sectional survey. A two-stage stratified sampling technique was used in sample selection. Data collection from 2,081 respondents was conducted using an online questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test via SPSS version 26.
Nearly half (48.1%) of respondents had low levels of knowledge about family planning. The prevalence of family planning practice was 64.7 percent. Modern methods, such as condoms, and traditional methods, such as withdrawal (azal), were the most commonly used contraceptive methods among women.
The prevalence of family planning was higher among Malays, women aged 30-34, those residing in rural areas, individuals with lower education levels, employed women, the M40 income group, those with 3-4 children, and those with high knowledge of contraceptives.
Family planning use showed no significant relationship with age, employment status, or household income. However, it was significantly associated with ethnicity, place of residence, education level, number of children, and level of knowledge.
Although the prevalence of family planning in this study was high, the level of knowledge among women about family planning remained low. Therefore, efforts to enhance women's knowledge of family planning should be strengthened to ensure they receive accurate information. This will enable them to make informed decisions about contraceptive use, ultimately contributing to the government's efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda

Intergenerational support and labour participation among older people in Malaysia
Item Type: Book Section
Editor:
Year: 00/12/2022
Abstract: Most older people receive significant assistance from their adult children. Some rely solely on their retirement savings, while others continue to work to support themselves in old age. This study examines the role that adult children play in shaping their parents’ decisions to participate in the labour market. When compared to older people who never received any help from their adult children, the results showed that older people who received assistance more often were less likely to work. This suggests that older individuals’ reduced incentive to work in the labour market is a result of their greater reliance on family support.

Item Type: Book Section
Editor:
Year: 00/06/2022
Abstract: Family planning could be defined as the ability of individuals and couples to anticipate and achieve their births. There are many types of contraceptive methods that can be used in family planning that could divided into two categories; namely modern and non-modern contraceptives methods. The choice whether to use modern or non-modern methods is said to be related to the socio demographic determinants of contraceptive use among ever married women aged 15-49 in Malaysia. Data used in this study was obtained from a national survey called Fifth Malaysia Population and Family Survey (MPFS-5) which was conducted by the National Population and Family Development Board in 2014. Multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used across all states in Malaysia. A total of 2736 ever married women who use contraception aged 15-49 years old were subjected to a face-to-face interview. The information was obtained on socio demographic characteristics and family planning practise. Data was analysed by using descriptive analysis, Chi-Square analysis and binary logistic regression. Findings of the analysis revealed that amongst five socio-demographic characteristics under study which are stratum, ethnicity, education level, age and income, only three socio-demographic characteristics known as stratum, ethnicity and education level present a significant association to the modern and non-modern contraceptive use among ever married women in Malaysia. In conclusion, the stratum or the location which either from urban or rural areas, the ethnicity which either Malay, other Bumiputera, Chinese or Indian, and the education level which either no education, primary school, secondary school or tertiary school, are the determinants of modern and non-modern contraceptive use among ever married women aged 15-49 in Malaysia

Abstract: Population ageing is facing by most countries today. This issues is influenced by factors such as increased life expectancy, migration and decreased fertility rates. The optimal fertility rate is 2.1 which means the average birth rate for a woman is able to replace herself and her partner. However, Malaysia has recorded a worrying situation since 2013 when the total fertility in the country was below 2.1, which is below the global fertility rate. A low fertility rate will increase the old-age dependency ratio and in turn affect the country’s economic growth.

Editor:
Year: 30/11/2018
Abstract: Most countries have been experiencing changes in fertility pattern over the last few decades. Fertility transition from high to low is a relatively recent phenomenon in Malaysia. The total fertility rate (TFR) had declined from 4.9 children per woman in 1970 to 4.0 in 1980. It has continued to fall and has reached the replacement level of 2.1 in 2010. This chapter provides the trend analysis and a comparative analysis of fertility trends to explain the fertility transition of Malaysia’s population. Data used in this study were obtained from Department of Statistics, Malaysia and Fifth Malaysian Population and Family Survey, 2014. The result of this study showed that the fertility rate between age groups was higher among Malay than other ethnics since 1991–2010. Across all ages, the fertility rate has a negative correlation with the educational level where women with tertiary education tend to have fewer children compared to less educated women. This study also presents the fertility desire in Malaysia. There is a negative correlation between age group and fertility desire. In addition, the desire to stop childbearing is found to be stronger when women have had three living children. The findings of this study will help policy makers to plan programmes to improve the fertility rate in Malaysia.
