Strategic Mapping of Youth Unemployment With Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Hesitant Fuzzy DEMATEL Based on 2-Tuple Linguistic Values

Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors that affect youth unemployment in emerging countries. For this purpose, 3 dimensions and 12 criteria are selected as a result of literature review. The analysis process has 3 different steps. Firstly, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets are created with the help of 2-tuple linguistic data. Additionally, relation matrix is generated by considering these fuzzy sets. In the second process, defuzzification process is occurred. Finally, the dimensions and criteria are weighted with Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach by using defuzzified data sets. The findings indicate that economic and social inequalities play the most significant role for youth unemployment in emerging countries. On the other side, it is also identified that economic crisis and insufficient education conditions are also important issues which lead to youth unemployment in these countries. Hence, it is recommended that governments should implement fair tax management practices in these countries to minimize economic and social inequalities. Furthermore, education conditions should be improved in the countries. In this framework, an effective education plan can be designed by cooperating with companies in the industry. Thus, labor needs in industry can be identified and education system can be designed according to the needs in the market. With the help of these implementations, it can be much easier for young people to find a job.

Evaluating Recognitive Balanced Scorecard-Based Quality Improvement Strategies of Energy Investments With the Integrated Hesitant 2-Tuple Interval-Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Decision-Making Approach to QFD

“…Due to this significant advantage, these fuzzy sets were preferred in various studies in the literature. Zhang et al [46] aimed to determine the main issues that affect the youth employment. In this study, firstly, the main indicators are selected based on a detailed literature review.…”

“…. , } represents the linguistic term set [45,46]. Additionally, 2-tuple term set is demonstrated as 〈 〉 = × [−0.5, 0.5).…”

“…These sets create a decision-making model by considering the hesitancy of the experts. They are very helpful to express the opinions of the experts more accurately [46]. In this framework, context-free grammars = ( , , , ) are used as in the following.…”

Consensus-Based Public Acceptance and Mapping of Nuclear Energy Investments Using Spherical and Pythagorean Fuzzy Group Decision Making Approaches

“…The procedure of consensus model is repeated in several rounds by changing the preference relations based on the directions of feedback mechanism until the value of CCL is higher than the threshold. For this purpose, the values of EXPCH, ALT, and APS are computed by the equations (16)- (18).…”

“…The most important advantage of the DEMATEL approach compared to these methods is that the impact relationship analysis can be performed [17]. Owing to this analysis, the causality relationship between variables can also be determined [18]. As a result, it will be possible to present more effective strategies for the solution of the problem [19].…”
