Implementation

Behind the feedback-response complex issues regarding this population, the Government has reasons for a reasonable relation to the size of population expansion, especially in efforts to create a population of hard, disciplined and productive. This is an important foundation for industrial development and market for goods manufactured locally. Population of four or five times necessarily caused some socio-economic implications. Effects of such population expansion will look felt at all levels of life especially of national resources. Among the areas of the field will be involved are as follows: --

i. Food Supply
Most food items have to be imported and this will cause food security problems and foreign exchange. Therefore the study should be made about land use and potential use of other sources.


ii. Housing
At least 10 million units of housing will be needed to accommodate the additional population of 50 million and this will take about 100 years according to current building rates.


iii. Jobs
More than 20 million new jobs must be created. Thus it is important to move the labor force becomes disciplined, motivated and productive.


iv. Health
Number of hospital beds should be increased from 25 thousand to 140.000 if the current long-term goal of 2 beds for every 1,000 population to be achieved. Number of doctors already should be increased from 4.200 to over 30,000.


v. Education
Place for 15 million shall be provided and at least 4000.000 teachers needed.


vi. Water Supply
Water use is expected by 15.6 billion cubic meters. Lack of water has already been anticipated in 2000 for a total population of 21 million.


vii. Energy Consumption
Energy consumption will increase by 4 or 5 times this will double again with the industrial economy. This problem will be more complicated because the achievement of 70 million will occur in Malaysia have run out of oil and gas (post-Hydrocarbon).

Following from the above problems, it is important that policies that are appropriate given the main attention. Among the policies are as follows: --

i. Economic development policy, which takes into account the relationship between
development and fertility, mortality, migration as well as growth, composition and distribution of population and income increase productivity.


ii. Manpower policy, which takes into account the growth of energy
labor and changes in labor force participation rates by gender and also the increasing need for advanced training technology.


iii. Social policy that focuses on aspects such as
health, education, housing, family development (including family planning) increase cultural, social balance in terms of ethnic group and gender, the welfare of children and old people and others because all of this will be influenced by socio-economic development, growth and population distribution.


iv. Privacy food, water and agriculture should provide pressure to
the adequacy in terms of distribution, changes in consumption patterns and also to the increased production methods.


v. Energy policy should identify the resources and energy
new.


vi. Environmental policy that takes into account the dangers caused by
ecosystem damage caused by the development and rapid population growth.

Government efforts to achieve the population policy has been introduced several measures, among them taxation policy and maternity benefits that will give munafaat son to the family of five.
