The main aim of this paper is to present the reviews of the recent literature related to the labour participation of the ageing population. Taking into consideration of the human population worldwide is rapidly ageing and the socioeconomic climate is continuously shifting, a number of governments recognise the critical nature of the economic welfare of the elderly. In the context of Malaysia, the increasing trend of the ageing population will eventually render the country into an aged nation by 2030. Given this expanding demographic, it demonstrates an effective management in Malaysia's health-care system, however, additional consideration is necessary concerning the economic welfare of these elderly individuals. A thorough analysis of the most recent literature chosen from both research papers and academic publications, with additional information from relevant internet news outlets and channels intended to extract and further examine the most recent have been reviewed. This paper anticipates exploring the labour participation of elderly individual as an initiative to empower their economic welfare.
