JUNE 10 — Malaysia ’s demographics are undergoing a significant shift. The number of citizens aged 65 and above is steadily rising, reaching 7.4% in 2023 and projected to double by 2040. This presents a unique opportunity to leverage the wealth of experience this growing population holds. However, to unlock this potential, a crucial element is often overlooked: aging education.
However, challenges remain. Accessibility is an issue, with programs often concentrated in urban areas or catering to specific groups. Additionally, declining physical abilities, family commitments and ageism can hinder participation.The push to “reskill” older adults for the modern workforce, while appealing, may not be the most realistic solution for everyone.
