Motivation: Our national source, the Department of Statistics Malaysia, reports subnational population under the following programs with different combinations of properties:
- Ten-year, census, by five-year age bracket, for 2000 and 2010
- Annual, intercensal estimate, by five-year age bracket, as early as 1970
- Annual, estimate, by five-year age bracket, from 2010
- Annual, estimate, total population, as early as 1963
Response: For international consistency, Moody's Analytics estimates quarterly population by broad age brackets (total, ages 0 to 14, 15 to 64, 65 and older), for Malaysia and its 16 first-level divisions.
