Abstract

Malaysia is experiencing a significant demographic shift, driven by rising life expectancy and declining fertility rates. By 2030, individuals aged 60 and above are expected to comprise over 15% of the population. This study undertakes a systematic literature review (SLR) of research published from 2010 to 2024, focusing on the economic and financial implications of population ageing within Malaysia. Only 14 articles within the domains of Economics, Econometrics, and Finance met the criteria, highlighting a notable research gap. The analysis underscores major concerns, including increased healthcare expenditure, pension sustainability, and labour market transitions. This paper calls for integrated policy frameworks and intensified interdisciplinary research to support the socio-economic well-being of Malaysia’s ageing population.
