Feasibility of a Household Registry System for the Panel Study of Malaysian Families (MyHoPS)
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/07/2026
Abstract: This study aims to assess the feasibility of developing a Household Registry System (HRS) to support the Malaysia Family Panel Study (MyIsiRumah). Currently, Malaysia does not have a dynamic, centralized household database capable of tracking socioeconomic changes over time. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines desk studies, expert interviews, system evaluations, and a pilot survey involving 743 respondents, the study found strong public support for the HRS application. The study suggests four strategic pillars: legal reforms, digital infrastructure integration, independent/impartial governance, and phased implementation through the MyIsiRumah pilot study.

Choosing not to mother? childfree and childless women and their contribution to fertility decline in Malaysia
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 16/05/2026
Abstract: In Malaysia, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has declined to 1.6 births per woman (2024), which is below the replacement level of 2.1. Over the past decade, the world has experienced significant demographic and cultural changes, particularly in family structures, including declining fertility rates and shifting norms around marriage. Globally, there is a growing trend of individuals choosing not to have children – not due to infertility or delayed marriage, but based on personal choice. This study aims to explore the contribution of childfree and childless women to fertility decline in Malaysia. The findings show that childfree and childless women experience non-motherhood differently, with childfree women often associating it with autonomy and emotional fulfilment, while childless women experience greater emotional vulnerability and social pressure.

Unjuran kadar kesuburan penduduk di Malaysia dengan menggunakan pemodelan kebarangkalian Bayesian
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Bayesian Probabilistic Modelling provides a more accurate, flexible and probability-based method of fertility rate projection. This method is not limited to a single projected value, but produces probability distributions and confidence intervals (80%/95%) for various future scenarios. This approach is widely used by the United Nations (UN DESA) for global and national population projections. It allows policymakers to assess risks, uncertainties and policy impacts more comprehensively than deterministic methods. As a national agency that advises the Government in the field of demography and population, LPPKN is recommended to adopt the Bayesian method to improve the accuracy and reliability of the country's fertility rate projections and support long-term planning related to population and family

Apabila bilangan yang diinginkan berkurang: perubahan keinginan kesuburan dalam kalangan wanita Malaysia, 2004-2014
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: The desire to have more children in Malaysia has declined as many people choose to have smaller families. Employment status is not a strong predictor. Education level was not a factor in 2004 in determining the desire for children, but in 2014, education influenced the desire. It is expected that the desire to have children will continue to decline in line with the reported decline in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR). Malaysia needs to plan measures and policies to prevent the negative effects of low fertility rates in the future. Malaysia needs an advocacy strategy that emphasizes the importance of having more children across age and ethnicity; government policies that directly and indirectly impact the desire to have one or more children (e.g. financial incentives, subfertility treatment, family-friendly workplaces, and a reformed early childhood education system)

Penilaian ke atas Program Pendidikan Kesihatan Reproduktif dan Sosial (PEKERTI) di Institut Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) dengan menggunakan model penilaian Kirkpatrick
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: The PEKERTI program was introduced by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) through the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) starting in 2009. Its main purpose is to produce individuals who are knowledgeable and have positive attitudes in reproductive and social health aspects. The National Reproductive and Social Health Education Policy and Action Plan (PEKERTI) 2022-2025 has improved the PEKERTI program until introducing the National PEKERTI program in 2025. The objective of the study is to measure the effectiveness of the program using the 4-stage Kirkpatrick Model. In conclusion, the program is effective in increasing knowledge, confidence, and commitment, but the effect is still moderate. Future focus is to increase involvement, satisfaction and interactive activities for better learning effects. Follow-up interventions after the program can close the gap between knowledge and practice (confidence & commitment).

Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/08/2025
Abstract: The number of Malaysian families is increasing, but family size is getting smaller. Marriages are increasingly being delayed, especially as the divorce rate has doubled since 2010. The scenario of fertility rate changes in Malaysia shows a declining trend. The crude birth rate in Malaysia also shows a drastic decrease. The rapid decline in fertility rate (TFR) will accelerate the country's aging process. LPPKN services can be one of the effective strategies that can support Malaysia in facing the scenario of declining fertility.
