Description

"Several implications can be drawn from the prevalent age distribution of the Orang Asli. Considering the youthfulness of the age structure, we can expect the growth rates to be maintained at high levels for some time, even with relatively modest birth rates. The large proportion of the population below 15 years also implies that development plans and strategies need to give greater emphasis to this age group, especially in terms of educational facilities and health care."
