| Current Population Pyramid |
The
population pyramid of Malaysia is very stable, with a quite equal, 1.01 male to
female ratio. The country seems to be sustainable, but slowly growing.
Malaysians also receives a moderately low amount of maternity leave (60 days),
so there is a good birth rate (21/1000 people per year). History shows that
there were no significant wars in Malaysia, with the exception of a few minor
brawls, so there hasn't been any huge population shifts due to war. According
to Malaysian Laws, everybody has equal, basic rights, but sometimes, women's
rights are violated through discrimination such as violence, denial of
employment and more. Malaysians are, for the most part, well-educated, with a
98.5% rate for both genders, and a 98.7% rate for women. Due to education, the
fertility rate isn't high (2.67 children/woman on avg.). Overall, I think
Malaysia is a quite sustainable country with a balanced population growth. If
the appropriate resources are used, Malaysia can be a successful country that
conserves sustainability.

- Teach about family planning: This will change people’s beliefs on the amount of kids they have. They will be teaching about the value of smaller families compared to large families. The benefits of a small families include the following:
1. Less use of resources within the family and less demand for national resources.
2. Less pressure on inhabiting land, thus the country will have more space for farmland and residential areas.
3. Families would save more money.
· Teach about marriage policies in polygamist society (controversial): This policy might be controversial because of their Islamic beliefs.
· Encourage a long maternity leave: you’d think that with a longer maternity leave women would be having more kids, but it’s the opposite way around. If you enforce a longer maternity leave, women would have less kid because right after they deliver them they would want to get back to work.
Hi Dear. Thanks for your valuable information. I would like to know the references you used to generate your population pyramid diagrams since I am working on something similar for my thesis. I am facing a problem finding population by age group and sex for Kuala Lumpur specifically; I found this data for entire Malaysia but I need it specifically for KL. I would be grateful if you could share your references...
