Abstract
A Study of Urban Living Skills Among Multi- Ethnic Youth in Malaysia
Highlights
The increase in the rural population moving to the City has put pressure on the population patterns and structures especially in the City
The findings show that there is no significant difference in survival for aspects of knowledge about urban life, urban life skills, lifelong learning as well as values and culture of urban living based on gender and ethnicity
Relevant parties need to improve survival skills by planning and designing appropriate programs taking into account gender and ethnic aspects to ensure that these programs can be used in various genders and ethnicities of youth
Summary
Nor Ermawati et al, (2015) stated that among the factors that cause the transfer of youth to major and major cities in Malaysia are employment opportunities, educational facilities, more comprehensive social services such as medicine and transportation. Youths who migrate to the City aim to find employment opportunities to improve their quality of life. Apart from that, this group aims to further their studies or gain skills. While Samsudin (2007) argues that youths who feel depressed and desperate with uncertain future conditions will be involved in negative behavior and are considered as those who have high risk in triggering various social problems to become a burden to society and the country
