Population and developmentPoA adopted at 1994 ICPD -a new strategy to
meet the needs of individuals rather than on achieving demographic targets.
People are producers (human resources) and consumers (whose needs must be met).
Past Malaysia Plans incorporated population factors.
Use of Population ProjectionDevelopment planning to improve the wellbeing of
the population, and business planning (domestic market)
Meeting the demands for education and health, infrastructure, housing, jobs and other basic goods and services
Changing age structure have important implications for marketing and employment planning
Use to set the time frame to achieve a target population – e.g. Convince the government that the 70 million population is to be achieved in 115 years
Demographic trends - ROGPopulation growing at around 2.5-2.7 for
most of the time post Independence, but slowed down to 2% between 2000 and 2010.
Population hit 30 million mark in February 2014, at a annualized rate of 1.56%, slower pace but still increasing by 455 thousand persons annually
Declining total fertility rate – replacement level fertility
Consequences of demographic transitionLow birth rate and death rateChanges in the age structure, ethnic
compositionLabour shortage (fertility reduction and rapid
economic growth)Influx of migrant workers
Data and methodsData from population censuses, vital
statistics and social statistics bulletinCohort component method – births, deaths

Discussion (1)Development planning is aimed at reducing regional
disparity and improving the standard of living and making places more livable. Hence, there is a need to identify areas where population is growing rapidly, and also the population groups that are under-served. Population projections merely provide the number of “producers” and “consumers” of goods and services, we have to determine the standard to be achieved. E.g. to achieve a hospital bed population ratio of about 13.7 per 1000 population found in Japan and Korea, the number of hospital beds required in 2015 will be 7 to 8 times higher than that indicated above.
Discussion (2)More detailed projections at sub-national levels are
needed – target population.Population in the different states and regions grew at
different pace, resulting in population redistribution. Between 1980 and 2010, the average annual rate of
population growth ranges from 0.9 per cent in Perak to 4.3 per cent annum in Selangor and 3.9 percent in Sabah.
In 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. urban population grew at 6.2 percent, 4.8 percent and 3.4 per cent respectively, in contrast to zero growth in the 1980s and depopulation of 0.24 percent and 0.8 percent per annum in the rural areas.
More attention needs to be given to urban planning
Discussion (3)Implications of rapid urban growthInequality in accessibility to servicesLess developed states/areas fare worse than
the more developed states/areas Need to reduce regional disparities in
education, health, etc.
Discussion (4)Younger population stop growingOpportunities to improve the quality of
human resources/capital- issues of eroding standard in education
Addressing the social problems and meeting the needs of young people – education, employment, reproductive health etc.
Discussion (5)Population ageing -need to improve the social
security schemes and promote active and productive ageing
Increase in life expectancy must be accompanied by improvement in health expectancy.
Non-communicable diseases associated with unhealthy life style are also poses abecoming a major health problem.
Promoting healthy life style and healthy living must be accorded the highest priority, to ensure that the additional years of life are not spent in ill health, which s a burden to the health care system.
ConclusionMuch more remains to be done to provide the
necessary data to planners for them to allocate the required resources to meet the needs of the various segments and sub-groups of the population such as ethnic groups, occupational groups, people with disability, the indigenous, etc at the sub-national level.
Population projections and estimating the needs for the various population groups entails the collection of the relevant data and indicators at these levels.
