The youth unemployment rate is three times greater than the total unemployment rate in Malaysia, also it is moving more fluctuated and growing every year after a significant rise in 2015. Hence this study aims to determine the relationship between the influential factors and the youth unemployment rate and to examine which factors can serve as future indicators of youth unemployment rate in Malaysia. The annual basis of secondary data from 1992 to 2019 and the analysis methods are used Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The correlation results show that inflation rate, trade openness and urbanization are negatively correlated with youth unemployment rate, while Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), migration and exchange rate are positively correlated. Also, the regression results indicate only four factors which are FDI, trade openness, exchange rate, and urbanization are significant to the youth unemployment rate. Thus, they can serve as the future indicators of youth unemployment rate in Malaysia. More specifically, FDI and exchange rate are positively significant correlated with youth unemployment rate, whereas trade openness and urbanization are negatively significant related with youth unemployment rate.

“…Migration is associated with urbanization because mass migration will raise the urbanization, and this will reduce the youth unemployment rate [19]. The reason is because the youths are more likely to migrate to another place when there are more job opportunities to enhance their available skills.…”

“…After the pandemic, young adults from rural areas continued to move to the cities for similar reasons as those stated by Koikkalainen et al (2022), which are, to further their studies, work, career, life goals and lifestyle changes. The same findings were reported by Shakur et al (2020). There have been cases where the young adults have returned to their hometowns after several years of sojourn (Linares, 2003).…”

The news and government report on Malaysian youths' reluctance to sit for their high school examinations and further their studies have become a significant problem for Malaysia's social capital, socioeconomic development, and future outlook. It was reported that, 25,000 SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) candidates did not want to sit for the 2022 examination, while 72.1% of SPM leavers do not want to pursue for tertiary education. It is troubling when the young generation's contribution to the national growth is crucial in achieving the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 (WKB2030) and the 12 th National Plan (RMK12). The endemic phase aggravated the youth unemployment rate, thus slowing the domestic economy for the local population, especially in suburban and rural areas. Tasked with the challenges of seeking employment and family economics had limited other development opportunities such as tertiary education and entrepreneurship. This study explored the issues of the youths' social mobility in the state of Perak, Malaysia. The countries' national agenda and the dynamics of youth mobility strategies formed the conceptual framework for exploring the challenges through a qualitative design research project. The findings evoked youths' input on entrepreneurial interests and feedback for policymakers and other relevant stakeholders to circumvent and resolve the dwindling number of youths' socioeconomic mobility. The implications from the bottom-up findings provide realistic insights from the current young generation on their wants for the change champions and the government to adjust the national and state strategies to create a society where there is youth fidelity by having realistic opportunities for empowerment towards their potential, contribute to the community and self-advance socioeconomically.

“…The supplied vocabulary was highly factual and did not include any nonfiction works. Shakur et al (2020) suggest that advanced school pupils in this region may have a greater sense of their future, especially concerning higher education and the significance of vaccines. Sarawak, on the other hand, included words such as scouts, bus, trip, camping, campsite, twigs, and tents, reflecting the culture of the school.…”

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Malaysian English teachers identified a pressing need to support upper primary school pupils, particularly those in the upper levels, in the effective composition of extended writing. Additionally, these educators required more innovative methodologies for teaching vocabulary in this context. Consequently, the current study aimed to develop a vocabulary index as a suggested resource for Malaysian English teachers instructing upper primary school pupils on extended writing. To achieve this, a quantitative computational research strategy and corpus-driven research design were employed. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 560 advanced upper primary school pupils from 28 schools, each with high English performance in the capital of each state and the federal territory of Malaysia, who produced a total of 152,187 words in extended writing for analysis. LancsBox, a primary computational linguistics application, was used for data processing. Given that the vocabulary index for extended writing necessitates a more comprehensive coverage of vocabulary, functional and content words were included, and keywords, raw and normalised frequencies were analysed and reported. Through the vocabulary index built in this study, the researchers found English teachers in Malaysia should utilise local issues in writing prompts, emphasise the use of both positive and negative adjectives, introduce complex sentence structures to enhance pupils’ writing abilities and also train pupils to organise the ideas in their writing. Future linguistic studies could replicate the present investigation, so that it can respond to their classroom needs.
