Population ageing 

Advocating for positive old age

UNFPA’s advocacy on ageing led to the inclusion of this issue in the 11^th Malaysia Plan, and the government recognizing the Malaysian Research Institute on Ageing (MyAgeing™) as the main reference point for ageing issues. We will continue to promote community collaboration as a sustainable measure to address the growing ageing issues in Malaysia, especially given the high investment it requires and taking advantage of the growing youth demographic dividend.
