Year: 00/03/2025
Abstract: The National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) established a new framework for family research in Malaysia by introducing the Family Well-Being Index (FWBI) in 2011 to measure the level of family well-being. To continue the effort of measuring and monitoring family well-being, LPPKN conducted the fourth series of the FWBI Study in 2022 and subsequently published the 2022 Family Well-Being Index Report (FWBI 2022).
Out of 8,460 households visited, a total of 5,236 respondents were successfully interviewed, consisting of 2,784 (53.2%) fathers and 2,452 (46.8%) mothers. The majority of respondents were aged between 40 and 49 years, Malay, still married, had secondary education, and resided in urban areas. More than two-thirds (68.9%) of respondents were from the B40 group with a household income of less than RM4,850.00. In terms of family structure, three-quarters (75.3%) of respondents belonged to nuclear households, where the father, mother, and children live together.
The FWBI 2022 showed that the level of family well-being was at a moderate level, with a score of 7.93 out of a maximum scale of 10.00. The 2022 FWBI score recorded an increase of 0.21 points or 2.7 percent compared to FWBI 2019. This improvement was contributed by five domains that scored above 8.00, namely:
(i) Family Relationship Domain (8.44);
(ii) Family, Religion, and Spiritual Practices Domain (8.37);
(iii) Family and Community Involvement Domain (8.24);
(iv) Family and Communication Technology Domain (8.18); and

Abstract: The Selangor State Population Seminar 2024 (SKNS 2024), held in conjunction with World Population Day 2024, was organized to discuss policies and measures needed to slow down the declining fertility rate and to prepare the state of Selangor for the rapid pace of demographic change.

The objective of the seminar was to explore and discuss current demographic dynamics and challenges, as well as their relationship with development, particularly in Selangor. This seminar provided a platform for policymakers, academics, and researchers to present their research findings in the fields of population, family, and reproductive health, and to produce recommendations that could serve as input for policy formulation and the development of appropriate intervention programs by the Selangor State Government.
In addition, the seminar also aimed to gather input and proposals on slowing down the fertility rate in Selangor from participants comprising state government agencies, state-owned enterprises, academics, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and civil society.

Abstract: The increase in life expectancy and declining fertility rates have contributed to the rising tide of the ageing population in Malaysia.
