Modelling a comprehensive Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) plan for societal well-being in Malaysia
Item Type: Scientific Poster

Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: Malaysia is currently going through a demographic transition as an aging country that is affected by two main factors, namely the decline in the overall fertility rate, as well as the increase in average life expectancy. The elderly are often associated with a decline in physical and cognitive abilities, which requires them to seek long-term care. This poses a major challenge for a country facing the phenomenon of population aging, as it impacts society and the government, particularly in economic and social aspects. Accordingly, it is important for Malaysia to immediately formulate a comprehensive strategy to deal with issues related to the aging of the population, particularly in the aspect of long-term care, to ensure the well-being of the people, as well as the sustainability of the country's fiscal management. Data collection for this study was conducted through seven focus group discussion sessions from March to August 2022, where the focus was on the four main aspects of long-term care insurance (LTCI), namely benefits, financing, eligibility, and supply. Taking into account policy makers' targets as well as the country's fiscal and economic situation, this study presents three main recommendations which are i) the implementation of a social insurance plan as a post-retirement benefit; ii) development of care economy; iii) increasing the retirement age limit. These measures are believed to help the country to meet the needs of the Malaysian community in facing the aging population transition.

Item Type: Country Statement
Editor:
Year: 00/05/2024
Abstract: Malaysia like many other countries is becoming an aging nation due to declining fertility and increasing life expectancy. As 10.7 per cent of its population aged above 60 in 2020, Malaysia is expected to reach aged nation status by 2030. In this regard, Malaysia has revised its National Policy for Older Persons to enhance the integration of the elderly into society and introduced measures to boost the number of geriatricians and aged care health professionals under the National Health Policy for Older Persons. Malaysia's commitment to adolescent healthcare is evident in the National Adolescent Health Plan of Action (2015-2020) and the revised National Policy and Plan of Action on Social and Reproductive Health Education (2022-2025). These initiatives emphasize sexual and reproductive health education rooted in religious and moral principles across different settings and age groups. The Government also provides comprehensive health care services which includes contraceptive and sexual and reproductive health services that are integrated into primary health-care facilities nationwide. Family planning services are also provided by the National Population and Family Development Board of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, NGOs such as the Family Planning Associations as well as private practitioners.

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).
