description: Malaysia as a developing country has been in the middle-income trap since 1990s. Although   Malaysia has enjoyed strong growth in the past but its momentum has been significantly   slower since the 1997 Asian economic crisis. For the country to become a high-income nation   by 2020, Malaysia needs to have a critical mass of skilled and knowledge-based workers for   higher productivity and economic  growth.The projected national population for age-group   cohort 15 years old and above are approximately 34.2 million by year 2020 and they   constitute the working population of Malaysia. In strategising and targeting skilled and   knowledge-based workforce for the new decade, lifelong learning (LLL) is an important   agenda in the 10th   Malaysia Plan (10MP) and recognised as the third pillar of human capital   development.10MP has succinctly mentioned that for the country to develop and retain a   first-world talent base, LLL will play an  important role in upgrading the skills and   capabilities of the existing workforce. This paper will delve into the various LLL initiatives by   the Ministry of Higher Education in its strategic contributions towards achieving the nation’s   high-income objective.
