The Malaysian Economic Statistics Review (MESR) Volume 2/2026 edition highlights the economic performance for the fourth quarter of 2025 as well as the latest statistics released in December 2025, along with selected releases for January 2026. A key feature of this edition is the article titled “The Age Profile of Mothers and Its Impact on Fertility”, which examines the rising age of mothers at first live birth and its relationship with Malaysia’s declining fertility rate. The article explores how shifts in marriage patterns, educational attainment, female labour force participation and economic considerations are shaping demographic trends and influencing long-term population dynamics.
