Trend Kependudukan dan demografi Negeri Kedah
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/07/2025
Abstract: Kedah recorded a population of 2.2 million, the sixth highest population in Malaysia. Live births in Kedah showed a declining trend from 2017 until 2022 and increased again in 2023. The phenomenon of depopulation puts pressure on the workforce and population distribution. The focus is on development for the elderly population to maintain functional capacity for general well-being. More comprehensive planning and policies regarding fertility components are needed to maintain a more stable population growth in the long term.

Abstract: Demographic transition is the process of change in a population from high birth and death rates to low rates. This process usually occurs alongside rapid socio-economic development; advances in medical technology and healthcare; improvements in living standards and education; and public policies that support the health and well-being of the population. Population aging and a reduction in the workforce put pressure on productivity and social support systems.

Abstract: Although there is a decline in fertility rates and population growth in Pahang, macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth rate, unemployment rate, and direct investment still show stable performance. This demographic effect is slow but certain, and will have a profound impact in the medium and long term. Early signs may not be noticeable in macro figures, but long-term risks have already begun to appear.

In Malaysia, the number of elderly people (aged 65 and above) is 2.6 million or 7.7% of the total population, while in Perak, the number of elderly people is 254.2 thousand or 9.9% of the total population.

The impact of covid-19 lockdown on family planning services in Selangor: pattern and geo-demographic profiles
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: The Movement Control Order (MCO) or lockdown implemented in Malaysia as a measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19, affects all sectors including education, business, health, and more. Family planning services are among those affected by these restrictions. Family planning is important in improving family well-being and is one of the main objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), 2015-2030, and the Twelfth Malaysia Plan (RMK-12). Therefore, this study aims to identify the trend and distribution of contraceptive use in Selangor, before, during, and after the MCO. In this study, the geo-demographic profile of contraceptive users was also investigated. The methodology of this study involves the use of descriptive analysis and the K-means clustering method in determining the client's geo-demographic profile. The data used in this study is the new contraceptive user for five Klinik Nur Sejahtera (KNS) in Selangor, for the years 2019 and 2020. The results of the analysis found that the use of contraceptives in Selangor showed a fluctuating trend before and after the MCO, with service interruptions during the MCO in 2020. Findings from the contraceptive user distribution mapping showed that more than 50 percent of KNS clients were within a 20 km radius according to the five districts for the year 2020. The analysis of the original pattern on the map shows the need for a clinic to be built in the northern part of Selangor. In addition, the geo-demographic profile findings provide five clusters of KNS client characteristics for the year 2020. In conclusion, the results of this study are significant and can be used by the authorities, especially family planning service providers to identify areas that need further scrutiny such as the allocation of resources, training, and awareness campaigns. The geo-demographic profiling of clients can provide authorities with a deeper understanding of their client's characteristics thereby enabling them to improve family planning services.

Abstract: The Malaysian Family Well-Being Index (MFWBI) was initiated in 2011 by the NPFDB with the aim to measure the levels of family well-being in the country and to recommend strategic initiatives to strengthen the implementation of future family intervention programs in Malaysia. In 2016, measurement of the MFWBI was repeated using an improvised instrument. The MFWBI 2016 had maintained all the 7 domain in the MFWBI 2011 and added one more domain, namely, Family and Communication Technology. The instrument’s refinement exercise was repeated again in 2019, and 2022 in order to measure the family well-being. The purpose of the refinement exercise was to ensure that the questionnaire was valid and relevant for current and near future use. The domain in the MFWBI are Family Relationship, Family Economy, Family Health, Family Safety, Family and Community Engagement, Role of Religion & Spiritual Practice, Housing and Environment, Family and Communication Technology. At the national level, the MFWBI has been recognized by the federal government as one of the national KPI in the country’s 5-year development planning (Eleventh Malaysia Plan, 2016 -2020 and Twelfth Malaysia Plan, 2012 – 2025).
