BAGI LAPORAN PERANGKAAN DEMOGRAFI MALAYSIA,

SUKU TAHUN KEDUA 2021

KELAHIRAN MENURUN 4.4 PERATUS MANAKALA KEMATIAN MENINGKAT

10.1 PERATUS PADA SUKU TAHUN KEDUA 2021

PUTRAJAYA, 11 Ogos 2021 - Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia telah mengeluarkan

laporan berkaitan Perangkaan Demografi bagi suku tahun kedua 2021. Mengulas

berkaitan laporan tersebut, Ketua Perangkawan Malaysia, Dato' Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir

Mahidin menyatakan, "Pada suku tahun kedua tahun ini, jumlah kelahiran hidup

mencatatkan penurunan sebanyak 4.4 peratus (111,573 kelahiran), berbanding suku

tahun kedua 2020 (116,688 kelahiran). Kelahiran bayi perempuan melebihi bayi lelaki

iaitu 55,881 kelahiran berbanding bayi lelaki (55,692 kelahiran). Selangor mencatatkan

bilangan kelahiran hidup tertinggi iaitu 20,389 kelahiran (18.3%) manakala jumlah

kelahiran hidup terendah dicatatkan oleh W.P. Labuan (390 kelahiran: 0.3%).

Dijangkakan berlaku peningkatan mendadak kepada bilangan kelahiran susulan

daripada perintah kawalan pergerakan semasa COVID-19 tetapi statistik menunjukkan

sebaliknya. Penurunan bilangan kelahiran ini adalah selari dengan negara lain seperti di

USA, Republic of Korea, United Kingdom, France dan Spain”.

Mengulas lanjut, sebanyak 44,307 kematian direkodkan pada suku tahun kedua 2021,

meningkat 10.1 peratus berbanding suku tahun kedua 2020 (40,241 kematian). Sejumlah

Embargo: Hanya boleh diterbitkan atau disebarkan mulai jam 1200, Rabu, 11 Ogos 2021

25,216 kematian adalah lelaki sementara 19,091 kematian adalah perempuan. Pada

tempoh yang sama, Selangor mencatatkan bilangan kematian tertinggi iaitu 6,818

kematian (15.4%) manakala W.P. Putrajaya mencatatkan bilangan kematian terendah

dengan 53 kematian (0.1%). Sebanyak 3,898 kematian disebabkan oleh COVID-19

direkodkan daripada keseluruhan jumlah kematian pada suku tahun kedua 2021,

meningkat daripada 78 kematian bagi tempoh yang sama pada tahun 2020. Data juga

menunjukkan kematian tertinggi akibat COVID-19 dicatatkan oleh kumpulan umur 65-69

tahun dan diikuti kumpulan umur 70-74 tahun. Selangor merekodkan bilangan kematian

tertinggi akibat COVID-19 iaitu 1,236 kematian manakala W.P. Putrajaya merekodkan

kematian terendah iaitu hanya 4 kematian.

Beliau turut mengulas bahawa pandemik COVID-19 tidak menjejaskan jangkaan hayat

ketika lahir di Malaysia. Jangkaan hayat bagi bayi yang lahir pada tahun 2021 secara

puratanya dijangka boleh hidup mencecah umur 75.6 tahun, 1.3 tahun lebih lama

berbanding sedekad lalu, 74.3 tahun (2011). Perbandingan mengikut jantina

menunjukkan secara purata bayi perempuan hidup lebih lama berbanding bayi lelaki

dengan peningkatan jangkaan hayat 0.5 tahun berbanding lelaki, 0.4 tahun bagi tempoh

2011 hingga 2021. Berdasarkan jurnal bertajuk Assessing the potential impact of

COVID-19 on life expectancy oleh Guillaume Marois, Raya Muttarak and Sergei

Scherbov sekiranya kadar prevalensi kematian COVID-19 berada di bawah 1 atau 2

peratus, penularan pandemik COVID-19 yang melanda seluruh dunia tidak akan

mempengaruhi jangkaan hayat secara signifikan. Kajian juga mendapati, sekiranya kadar

prevalensi berada pada 10 peratus, terdapat penurunan jangkaan hayat ketika lahir

melebihi satu tahun bagi North America, Europe dan Latin America dan Caribbean.

Manakala bagi negara Southeastern Asia dan sub-Saharan Africa, sekiranya kadar

prevalensi kematian COVID-19 berada pada masing-masing 15 peratus dan 25 peratus,

terdapat penurunan jangkaan hayat ketika lahir satu tahun. Bagi tempoh Julai 2020

hingga Jun 2021, Malaysia mencatatkan kadar prevalensi kematian COVID-19 yang

masih rendah iaitu 0.02 peratus.

Selain itu, beliau juga menyatakan “Berdasarkan data anggaran penduduk semasa,

penduduk Malaysia pada suku tahun kedua 2021 dianggarkan 32.66 juta orang,

3

meningkat 0.2 peratus berbanding suku tahun kedua 2020 (32.58 juta). Jumlah penduduk

ini merangkumi 29.96 juta orang (91.8%) Warganegara dan 2.69 juta orang (8.2%) Bukan

Warganegara. Komposisi penduduk Bukan Warganegara menurun daripada 8.9 peratus

pada suku tahun kedua 2020 kepada 8.2 peratus pada suku tahun kedua 2021. Ini adalah

selari dengan penutupan pintu sempadan negara dan pergerakan pulang warga asing ke

negara masing-masing berikutan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) semasa

penularan pandemik COVID-19 di seluruh dunia. Data penduduk ini adalah berasaskan

kepada Banci Penduduk dan Perumahan 2010, pertambahan semula jadi kelahiran &

kematian dan migrasi bersih. Data ini akan disemak semula setelah hasil dapatan Banci

Malaysia 2020 diperoleh”.

Pada suku tahun kedua 2021, penduduk lelaki (16.77 juta) melebihi penduduk

perempuan (15.88 juta). Nisbah jantina penduduk adalah 106 lelaki bagi setiap 100

perempuan. Manakala nisbah jantina penduduk Warganegara dan Bukan Warganegara

adalah 102 dan 156 lelaki bagi setiap 100 perempuan.

Penduduk berumur 65 tahun dan lebih (umur tua) meningkat daripada 2.29 juta kepada

2.40 juta bagi tempoh yang sama. Trend ini adalah selari dengan negara-negara maju

yang menuju ke arah penuaan penduduk. Penduduk berumur 0-14 tahun (umur muda)

menurun daripada 7.58 juta pada suku tahun kedua 2020 kepada 7.51 juta pada suku

tahun kedua 2021. Manakala, penduduk berumur 15-64 tahun (umur bekerja) meningkat

daripada 22.71 juta (suku tahun kedua 2020) kepada 22.74 juta pada suku tahun kedua

tahun ini.

Tiga negeri yang mencatatkan komposisi penduduk tertinggi pada suku tahun kedua

2021 ialah Selangor (20.1%) diikuti oleh Sabah (11.7%) dan Johor (11.6%). Sebaliknya,

W.P. Labuan dan W.P. Putrajaya mencatatkan komposisi penduduk terendah iaitu 0.3

dan 0.4 peratus.

Banci Penduduk dan Perumahan Malaysia 2020 (Banci Malaysia 2020) secara dalam

talian (e-Census) sedang dilaksanakan di seluruh negara sehingga liputan penuh dapat

dicapai. Semua penduduk Malaysia diseru untuk memberikan kerjasama dalam

4

menjayakan Banci Malaysia 2020 bagi memastikan tiada yang ketinggalan kerana data

anda masa depan kita. Sila layari portal Banci Malaysia 2020 di www.mycensus.gov.my

atau media sosial @MyCensus2020 untuk maklumat lanjut.

Data yang dikumpulkan melalui Banci Malaysia 2020 sangat berguna untuk kajian sosio

demografi dan aspek-aspek lain seperti penggubalan dasar dan perancangan untuk

memantau trend demografi dan program pelaksanaan, begitu juga untuk penyelidikan

dan kajian ilmiah mengenai hubungan antara trend kesuburan & kematian dan

pembangunan sosio ekonomi. Komitmen dan sokongan semua pihak sangat diperlukan

agar Banci Malaysia 2020 dapat dilaksanakan dengan jayanya.

MEDIA STATEMENT

FOR THE REPORT OF DEMOGRAPHIC STATISTICS MALAYSIA,

SECOND QUARTER 2021

BIRTHS DECLINED 4.4 PER CENT WHILE DEATHS INCREASED 10.1 PER CENT

DURING SECOND QUARTER 2021

PUTRAJAYA, 11 AUGUST 2021 – The Department of Statistics, Malaysia has released

the report on Demographic Statistics for the second quarter 2021. Commenting on the

report, Chief Statistician Malaysia, Dato' Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin said, “In the second

quarter of this year, the number of live births recorded a decrease of

4.4 per cent (111,573 births) as compared to the second quarter of 2020 (116,688 births).

Female babies outnumbered male babies with 55,881 births as compared to male babies

(55,692 births). Selangor recorded the highest live births with 20,389 births (18.3%) while

W.P. Labuan recorded the lowest (390 births: 0.3%). It was anticipated earlier that

lockdown during Covid-19 would lead to baby boom but statistics showed otherwise. The

decline in the number of births is in line with other countries such as the USA, Republic

of Korea, United Kingdom, France and Spain”.

Commenting further, a total of 44,307 deaths was recorded in the second quarter 2021,

increase by 10.1 per cent as compared to the second quarter 2020 (40,241 deaths). The

number of deaths recorded for males were 25,216 while females recorded 19,091 deaths.

During the same period, Selangor recorded the highest number of deaths with 6,818

deaths (15.4%) while W.P. Putrajaya recorded the lowest with 53 deaths (0.1%). A total

Embargo: Only to be published or disseminated at 1200 hour, Wednesday, August 11th 2021

of 3,898 deaths due to COVID-19 were recorded in the second quarter of 2021, an

increase from 78 deaths for the same period in 2020. The data also showed the highest

deaths due to COVID-19 were recorded by the age group 65-69 years and followed by

the age group 70-74 years. Selangor registered the highest number of deaths due to

COVID-19 with 1,236 deaths while W.P. Putrajaya registered the lowest with only 4

deaths.

He also stated that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on

Malaysia’s life expectancy at birth. The life expectancy for a baby born in 2021 on average

are expected to live reached the aged of 75.6 years, 1.3 years longer than a decade ago,

74.3 years (2011). In terms of comparison by sex, on average, baby girls live longer than

boys with an increase in life expectancy of 0.5 years as compared to boys, 0.4 years for

the period 2011 to 2021. Based on the journal entitled Assessing the potential impact of

COVID-19 on life expectancy by Guillaume Marois, Raya Muttarak and Sergei Scherbov,

if the prevalence rate of COVID-19 infection was below 1 or 2 per cent, the spread of

COVID-19 pandemic globally would not significantly affect life expectancy. The findings

also showed that if the prevalence rate of COVID-19 mortality was at 10 per cent, there

was a decrease in life expectancy at birth beyond one year for North America, Europe

and Latin America and the Caribbean. Although for Southeastern Asia countries and

sub-Saharan Africa, if the prevalence rate of COVID-19 mortality respectively was at

15 per cent and 25 per cent, there is a decrease in life expectancy at birth, one year. In

the period of July 2020 to June 2021, Malaysia had recorded a low prevalence rate of

COVID-19 mortality at 0.02 per cent.

Meanwhile, he also commented that “Based on the current population estimates,

Malaysia’s population in the second quarter 2021 was estimated at 32.66 million,

increased by 0.2 per cent as compared to the second quarter 2020 (32.58 million). The

total population comprised 29.96 million (91.8%) Citizens and 2.69 million (8.2%)

Non-Citizens. The composition of Non-Citizens declined from 8.9 per cent in the second

quarter 2020 to 8.2 per cent in the second quarter 2021. This was in tandem with the

closure of national borders and the return of foreigners to their respective countries during

3

the Movement Control Order (MCO) following the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic

worldwide. This population data is based on the Population and Housing Census 2010,

natural increase of births & deaths and net migration and it will be reviewed once the

results of the Malaysia Census 2020 are obtained”.

In the second quarter 2021, males’ population (16.77 million) outnumbered females

(15.88 million). The total sex ratio was 106 males per 100 females. Meanwhile, the sex

ratio for Citizens and Non-Citizens remained at 102 and 156 males per 100 females

respectively.

The composition of population aged 65 years and over (old-age) increased from

2.29 million to 2.40 million during the same period. This trend is in line with other

developed countries that are heading towards ageing nations. The population

aged 0-14 years old (young age) decreased from 7.58 million in the second quarter 2020

to 7.51 million in the second quarter 2021. Meanwhile, the composition of the population

aged 15-64 years old (working age) increased from 22.71 million (second quarter 2020)

to 22.74 million in the second quarter this year.

The three states with the highest population composition in the second quarter 2021 were

Selangor (20.1%) followed by Sabah (11.7%) and Johor (11.6%). On the contrary,

W.P. Labuan and W.P. Putrajaya recorded the lowest population composition at

0.3 per cent and 0.4 per cent respectively.

The online Population and Housing Census of Malaysia 2020 (Census of Malaysia 2020)

(e-Census) is being implemented nationwide until full coverage can be achieved. All

Malaysians are requested to cooperate in making the Census Malaysia 2020 a success

to ensure that no one is left behind because your data is our future. Please visit the

Census Malaysia 2020 portal at www.mycensus.gov.my or social media

@MyCensus2020 for more information.

The data collected through Malaysia Census 2020 is very useful for socio demographic

studies and other aspects such as for policy making and planning, monitoring of

demographic trends and action programmes as well as for research and scientific study

of the interrelationship between fertility & mortality trends and socio-economic

development. The commitment and support of all parties are very much needed for the

success of Malaysia Census 2020.
