| Abstract |
The phenomenon of depopulation will become a new challenge for Malaysia in 2060. The population is projected to peak in 2059 at an estimated 42.38 million people. The total fertility rate (TFR) will decline to 1.4 by 2060. The average age of mothers at first live birth will increase (2023: 28 years). Median age at marriage: men: 28.0 years, women: 27.0 years in 2023. Household size is decreasing to 3.7 (2024), 5.2 (1980). Life expectancy is increasing, men: 77.2, women: 81.5. The evolution of national socio-economic strengthening focuses on restructuring the economy for a quality life for the people. As the leader in official statistics, Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) will begin to release aggregate/statistical data at granular levels regularly. Trusted figures and data are the lifeblood of growth and fairer distribution. |
