Nik Norliati Fitri Md Nor, a researcher in demography and ageing population at Universiti Sains Malaysia, said the disparity is mainly due to the teachings of Islam and their cultural traditions. "The Chinese culture prioritises providing education for children and emphasises wealth and prosperity. Many Chinese families also tend to focus on attaining a higher quality of life and personal satisfaction.

Apart from the disparity in TFR among different ethnic groups, Malaysia's overall TFR has also dropped from 2.2 to 1.6 between 2011 and 2022 She advised the government to tackle the low fertility rate by providing affordable reproductive healthcare, implementing education programmes to increase awareness of fertility issues, and providing financial support to people facing difficulties in seeking infertility treatments.Image via Bernama via New Straits Times Catch up on the latest trending stories on SAYS:
