By 2030, one in five Malaysians will be over the age of 60 — a demographic shift that’s prompting the government to review whether the current retirement age of 60 still makes sense. With proposals on the table to raise it to 65, what would this mean for businesses, workers, and the economy?
Sam Baxendale, Co-Founder & CEO of Kinetik Hiring, joins us to explore the policy drivers, workplace readiness, and intergenerational dynamics at play, and whether Malaysia is adapting to an ageing workforce or simply buying time.
