Malaysia experiences slower population growth in Q3 2024 – DoSM

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia’s population grows at a slower rate in the third quarter of 2024 with an estimated population of 34.1 million, as compared with 33.6 million in the same period a year ago (Q3 2023) with a slower growth of 1.6 per cent versus 2.1 per cent (Q3 2023).

In a statement today, Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the lower growth could be attributed to the decline of child births.

He said the total population comprised 30.7 million or 90 per cent citizens and 3.4 million or 10 per cent non-citizens.

Mohd Uzir noted that the male population increased to 17.9 million from 17.6 million in the third quarter 2023 and females rose to 16.2 million from 16 million in the same period.

“The overall sex ratio of population was 111 males per 100 females while sex ratio for citizens was 103 males per 100 females,“ he said.

Mohd Uzir said the young age population (0-14 years old) remained unchanged at 7.6 million or 22.2 per cent whilst the composition of working age population (15-64 years) and old population (65 years and over) increased from 23.5 million (70 per cent) and 2.5 million (7.5 per cent) to 23.9 million (70.2 per cent) and 2.6 million (7.7 per cent), respectively.

He added Malays accounted for 58.1 per cent of the population (Q3 2023: 57.9 per cent) and noted that the Chinese and Indian population respectively decreased to 22.4 per cent and 6.5 per cent, as compared to 22.5 per cent and 6.6 per cent in the same period last year, while Other Bumiputeras remained unchanged at 12.3 per cent.

In addition, Mohd Uzir also remarked that the number of live births recorded a decrease of 12.3 per cent with 100,645 births as compared to 113,764 births in Q3 2023.

Selangor recorded the highest live births of 19,458 (19.3 per cent) while Federal Territory of Labuan recorded the lowest at 327 births (0.3 per cent).

Most of 50.3 per cent of Malaysia’s live births are from mother aged 30-39 years followed by aged 20-29 years (42.6 per cent), 40 years and over (5.0 per cent) and less than 20 years (2.1 per cent).

“On average, one baby was born per minute, 46 babies per hour and 1,094 babies per day in the third quarter 2024,“ Mohd Uzir said.

Commenting further, he said a total of 48,317 deaths were recorded, an increase of 1.9 per cent as compared to 47,438 deaths recorded in last year’s Q3.

Age group 60 years and over recorded the highest number of deaths at 33,995 deaths (70.4 per cent), followed by 41-59 years (20.0 per cent), 15-40 years (7.5 per cent) and 0-14 years (2.2 per cent).

“On average, one death was recorded in two minutes, 22 deaths per hour and 525 deaths per day in the third quarter 2024,“ Mohd Uzir said.

  2. Our dedicated Australian online casino guide allows you
    to search for the best bonus casinos anytime you want! Online casino bonuses can be an integral
    part of a person’s online gambling experience.
    Naturally, the same rule applies to Australian online casinos.

    This really feels like you’re not just gambling – but you’re playing a
    game and completing missions that get harder and harder as you
    progress, while the rewards get bigger and bigger. If I didn’t know
    any better, I would say Neospin is an Australian online casino made for high rollers, thanks to its high limits and
    VIP program that requires a lot of spending.

    Okay, yes, it’s good that all players are eligible
    for cashback (starting at 5% and going up depending on losses), but we
    need to be real that very, very few can actually benefit
    from this offer. From here, I started playing different casino games to check out the gameplay, responsiveness, graphics, whether there’s lag or not… the
    lot. The welcome package is a more-than-generous 4-tier welcome
    package of up to A$11,000 and 300 free spins, so it’s safe to say it shadows most other welcome bonuses
    at AU casinos.
    Lucky Vibe is one of the best new online Australian casinos because
    it caters to a broad range of casino players. Despite a few drawbacks – limited bonuses, no progressive jackpots, subpar navigation, and the absence of live poker – Spinando is an appealing choice, particularly for casual players with
    smaller budgets. DragonSlots is also a premium new online casino for your mobile, offering an iOS- and Android-compatible PWA app with solid mobile performance ratings.
    To be honest, the name and design of the casino were the
    first things that drew me there, only to learn that this new online casino in Australia hides one of the best online casino playgrounds.
    It’s crucial to comprehend wagering requirements before claiming a bonus at any Australian online
    casino. If you are new to live gaming, choose classic table games with lower limits to
    get familiar with the live interface and real-time pace.

  3. Some show need, some show impact, and some show urgency,
    so one word may not fit every sentence. If it matters because many people respect it, choose notable or influential.
    If it matters because it comes first, pick key, main, or primary.
    If it matters because you need it, choose essential, necessary,
    or vital.
    Important means something has high value, strong
    impact, or special priority. Learning other words for important helps you
    match the meaning to the situation. Sometimes
    a thing matters because it affects your future. French-English
