| Abstract |
Malaysia demographic transition: youth population shrinking, senior population growing and Malaysia entering an ageing society. Senior live longer, creating higher dependency ratios. For marriage and family trends there are declining marriage rates, delayed family formation. Divorce rates increasing, reshaping household stability. For household structure it shift from extended families to smaller nuclear households. Rising living costs discourage larger families. For fertility, Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is now below the replacement level (2.1) |
