Social Protection Insight Vol. 8 – Living To A Hundred: Are We Prepared?

As Malaysia moves towards an ageing society, Social Protection Insight Vol. 8 examines whether our current systems are ready to support people living longer lives. This edition brings together concise, evidence based policy briefs that explore how economic, social and institutional frameworks can adapt to deliver a longer, healthier and more meaningful life for Malaysians.

Social Protection Insight is an annual publication produced in conjunction with the International Social Well-Being Conference (ISWC).

The volume is organised around 4 key themes:

• Retirement Security and Social Protection – savings adequacy, behavioural strategies, gig work and long term care

• Labour Market Trends and Workforce Integration – job mismatch, evolving industries, employment and mental health

• Gender and Inclusion in Economic Participation – women’s economic empowerment and structural inequalities

• Poverty, Ageing and Broader Well-being – urban poverty, ageing in place and innovative approaches to financial resilience

Written for policymakers, researchers, practitioners and students, this book supports informed debate on the future of social protection in Malaysia.
