Selangor became the first state in Malaysia to launch a care economy policy. As the state with the highest number of elderly residents, the new framework would focus on regulation, training, and investments in the care economy. Joining us for a discussion on this is Lee Min Hui, Gender Consultant at the United Nations Population Fund Malaysia.
