Headlines such as death from neglect of the elderly or an infant bolsters the need for building a proper care economy in Malaysia. theSun theSundaily careeconomy economy ageinbio population Malaysia Opinion
age dependency is high in Malaysia at 10% in 2020, according to World Bank data. In an ageing society, infant care and supporting children have become a matter of concern in Malaysia.
The main challenge here is that care work is frequently underestimated and underpaid, especially those in low-wage positions, which is usually performed by migrant workers with informal education, particularly in Southeast Asia. Additionally, efforts for education and awareness can be launched to dispel gender conventions and preconceived notions about caregiving while emphasising the crucial contributions of care workers.
The nation’s progress toward healthcare and the care economy is vital and tied to universal health coverage as stated in Sustainable Development Goal 3.8.
