This main purpose of this article investigated the impact of ageing population on economic growth in Malaysia. Annual time series data for 27-year duration (1990-2017) was used and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) was applied. This study will focuses on addressing role of ageing population in Malaysia by context that failed to receive much attention especially in employment sector. By using Romer [1] endogenous theory, the cointegration result revealed that exists a long run relationship exists between ageing population in Malaysia government development expenditure in education and economic growth. Our analysis recommends further investment in government expenditure in education sector to achieving higher human capital capability as a towards high income country and ageing phenomena.

This study aims to apply the technology assessment (TA) model on e-banking perceptions in the context of Malaysia, which involves aspects of supply and demand, and increasing the cashless concept in the country. A sample of 470 respondents were randomly selected from high density state capitals and major cities, through the convenience sampling method. Respondents were requested to complete a questionnaire developed from the basic model by forming UTAUT constructs, including quality, skills, transaction costs, user satisfaction, role of service providers (banks), and the influence of environment. Based on the results obtained, the model suggests that transaction costs, as direct costs by service providers, have a significant impact on the overall assessment of the performance of retail e-banking. Data analysis was performed using structured equation modeling (SEM), with the use of AMOS V22 as a method of trajectory analysis. Keywords: technology, SEM, performance, e-banking

This paper attempts to investigate the energy consumption and trade openness by taking into consideration the economic growth among associations within countries of Asia. The database was constructed and restricted to a sub-region area in southeast Asia well knows as Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines or BIMP-EAGA. The initiative, established in 1994 aims to increase the economic development of its members. We employed panel data analysis to examine the said linkage using panel co-integration on data taken for the period between 1970 to 2016. The approaches for panel data were the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS). From our analysis, the findings indicated a significance and positive relationship between energy consumption, trade openness and economic growth. Additionally, we noted that both indicators are important among association to foster economic wellbeing. Furthermore, the benefit of this initiative of collaboration was highly successful.

Objective – Prior to the East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA) in ASEAN, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines (BIMP) took in an inflow of immigrants to support growth. The more they depended on foreign labour, the issue of gender inequality in the job sector became an issue that is hindering prosperity. Methodology/Technique – The research was aimed to identify the relation between unemployment rate from the gender perspective and economic growth of BIMP-EAGA by using two methods, namely Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS). Annual time series data for the period of 1990 to 2018 was employed. Findings & Novelty – The result was contrary to Okun's law which says that there is a negative relation between the male unemployment rate and GDP. This study found that the female unemployment rate did not affect GDP and was insignificant. Policies that benefit and increase the participation of female workers in the job sector should be enhanced to prepare a conducive environment for the economy. Type of Paper: Empirical.

The circular economy (CE) is a sustainable development model that creates a more dynamic market environment for organizations. It enables the enhancement of organizations' contributions to sustainable production and consumption. The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy advocated environmental sustainability by promoting green sustainable supply chain management practices. Besides, it transforms the sustainable supply chain towards a new paradigm of redesign, reuse, and product transformation. Additionally, the integration of a circular economy paradigm within sustainable supply chain management will provide benefits from an environmental perspective. Hence, the authors would like to review the role of green technologies in sustainable supply chain management within a circular economy. In addition, the focus will be given to analyzing the benefits of a circular economy from an environmental point of view. Finally, a discussion will be provided on the challenges of sustainable supply chain management adopted within a circular economy (CE).
