Abstract: All around the world, young people are making decisions about whether to get married, have children, and build family life amid increasingly challenging economic, social, and political conditions. These decisions are influenced by rising costs of living and housing, job instability, intergenerational inequality, digital changes, as well as worries about conflicts, climate change, and political instability. Investing in young people is an investment in the country's future. By providing an environment that is supportive economically, socially, and through family support, we can help them achieve their hopes and aspirations, and in turn build a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient society.

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.
