Socio-demographic determinants of fertility intention among reproductive-age adults in urban Malaysia
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Malaysia’s total fertility rate (TFR) dropped to 1.6 children per woman in 2022, with Kuala Lumpur reporting the lowest at 1.2, well below the replacement level. Sustained low fertility threatens future labour force replacement, healthcare sustainability, and family support sustems. Urban pressures such as high living costs, work-life imbalance, and housing challenges further discourage childbearing. Despite these concerns, there remains limited empirical evidence on how socio-demographic factors influence fertility intentions in Malaysia’s Urban population. This study examines the socio-demographic determinants of fertility intention among adults in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s lowest-fertility region.

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
