Abstract
Fertility refers to the total number of children that each female human would have if she lived to the end of her reproductive years. However, total fertility rate affects the total population. The more the total fertility rate decreases, then the total population will also decrease. Since the government’s vision was to achieve 70 million population by 2100, this study was conducted to explore the fertility rate in Malaysia. This research focused on the trend of total fertility rate decline in Southern Region Malaysia that includes Johor, Malacca and Negeri Sembilan. In this research, the data obtained were from the Department of Statistics Malaysia. The line graph was used to observe the trend pattern for total fertility rate in Southern Region Malaysia and it shows that total fertility rate is declining. It showed a decrease of around 1.4 of total fertility rate. Comparing the three southern region states, Negeri Sembilan recorded the highest total fertility rate.
