How is this data produced?
This dataset tabulates the number of people born in Malaysia and registered with JPN from 1920 to the present.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
There are several nuances to bear in mind when using this data:
- The data is derived based on births registerd with JPN. Accordingly, if a birth is not registered with JPN (for instance, if a foreigner chooses to register their child in their home country, or if a resident in a remote area does not register the birth of their child), it will not count in this dataset.
- This dataset tabulate births for each day of birth, rather than the date of registration with JPN. Therefore, to ensure accuracy, the data is provided with a 1 month lag, since most people do not register their child on the exact day they are born.
- Data for past dates may be revised in future updates; this represents people registering children outside a 1 month window from their date of birth. However, our update procedure should ensure that there is no significant change to the trend.
