1. The youths (15-34 years old) in Malaysia today represent more than 50% of Malaysian workforce.
2. This number will increase in the future especially when more graduates are produced from our local universities.
3. Unfortunately, the country's job market will find its equilibrium after reaching a certain level in the supply and demand of the human capital. When talent supply outweighs demand, UNEMPLOYMENT comes into the picture. And this seems to be the case in the present day. MAJORITY of unemployed today are from the Malaysian youths category !!!
4. We need to be gravely concerned about this scenario as this will jeapordise Malaysia sustainable development journey.
5. Just acknowledging the fact will not resolve this BIG PROBLEM hence SDMalaysia feels the need to be the change agent of sustainability and find genuine solutions for the future generations .
6. Thinking outside the box, Malaysians should be more exposed in the opportunity in the Green Job Market. Sitting comfortably in air conditioned office may probably be the thing of the past (Note: Green workers advocate work from home to reduce carbon footprint). Our youths must grab the opportunities in variety of green related jobs such as a solar power installer, energy effiency contractor and organic farmer to name a few.
7. Our local universities today may still have their challenges in reaching out to the requirements of moulding graduates to fit in this new job market. That is probably why we have heard many stories of the Gen Y short working stint with companies due to job mismatch.
8. That said, SDMALAYSIA is calling the future generations of Malaysia to send their resume to us at Greenjob.Malaysia@Gmail.com. You will be in the ELITE Community of SDMALAYSIA that will have the opportunity to get connected with the potential extensive network of Green Job employment in Malaysia.
7. If you want to make a change for the country, you can start by making your own transformation as the next Green Collar Worker !
