A Framework on Sustainable Development Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth of Malaysian Youth

Abstract

One of the major aims of sustainable development goal is mitigating the unemployment rate especially for the youth Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) population focusing the youth on Malaysia. The common misconception is that the youth is having attitude problems or unprofessional behaviour. This misconception root needs to be mitigated by looking into this issue deeper. Thus, we are proposing a framework to enhance the youth sustainable employability management. This framework is a way of investigating the concept of economic stress and individual resilience which allows problems to be explored and solved. The research methodology to be employed will consists of both quantitative and qualitative approaches among the youth NEET population in Malaysia. The designs of study will include descriptive analysis and experimental design. We strongly believe that the introduction of the sustainable employability management will help to develop, refine, and cultivate our youth employability management which is currently lacking in today’s scenario. The output of this research is directly aligned with Malaysia Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 (SPV2030) for labour market, Malaysian Key Economic Growth Activities (KEGA), and United Nation (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 agenda
