Consider This: National Transfer Accounts: Why It Matters

Malaysia has released its first National Transfer Accounts, which measures how Malaysians at different ages produce, consume, save and support one another across a lifetime. Why is this an important measure, and what does the data tell us about the way Malaysians live, work, support one another and grow old? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Datuk Dr Tengku Aizan Tengku Abdul Hamid, Chairperson of the Private Pension Administrator Malaysia and founding director of the Malaysian Research Institute of Ageing (MyAgeing), and Dr Sharifah Azizah Haron, Associate Professor in the Department of Resource Management & Consumer Studies at UPM’s Faculty of Human Ecology.
