Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The population projections have shown that Malaysia is moving towards an ageing society by 2030, as the population projection shows decreasing proportion of younger age groups, while population aged 60 and above will be increasing in proportion due to declines in mortality and fertility. These demographic changes in turn presents the pressure on educational facilities, housing, social and health services, dependency ratio, urban areas, labour shortage and environmental impact. By 2040, Malaysia is projected to have more older people (age 60 and above) living in cities (greater than 15% of the population). An ageing population not only puts a strain on a country’s social security system and health care, but also concerns on access of older person to social participation, entertainment or employment, which has direct and indirect implication to health, welfare, care and living arrangements. Among the states in Malaysia, Perak recorded the highest number of older persons in Malaysia, with 14.9% of its population aged 60 and above.
This project, a partnership with Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (MWFCD) and in collaboration with Municipal Council of Taiping (MPT), aims to strategically contribute in creating an age friendly framework for one of the ageing cities in Malaysia, which is in Taiping, Perak. This is in line with the World Health Organisation Guidelines on Age Friendly Cities, as well as ensuring that Malaysia is prepared in moving towards an aged nation by 2030. This is to be done through:
