Abstract | This study analyses the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and labour participation among 4,059 older Malaysians (age 60+) using data from the Fifth Malaysian Population and Family Survey 2014 (MPFS-5). A binary logistic regression was used to identify the significant predictors of older Malaysians participating in the labour market after controlling for key demographic, health and socio-economic, geographical and intergenerational support variables. |
