SELANGOR hopes quality data will help the state government formulate suitable policies to address the lower birth rate in the country. Women, family empowerment, welfare and care economy committee chairman Anfaal Saari said with the national total fertility rate (TFR) having dropped from 2.1 children in 2010 to 1.6 in 2022, Selangor was concerned that this would impact the nation’s socio-economic growth.

Don' worry, it's a population and household cencus, not a scam!

Over the past 50 years, the fertility rate among Malaysians has decreased rapidly, from 6.7 children per woman in 1957 to four in 1980, three in 2000 and 2.1 in 2010. Last year, the rate dropped yet again to 1.6 children per woman aged 15-49 years old. It was the lowest rate recorded in the country.
