Slim Prospects, Harsh Realities: Asia’s Youth Employment Crisis | CNA Correspondent

[@Onion_Knights]

why difficult to look for a suitable job in Malaysia? 1) Age restriction, most companies dont want someone aged 35 or older. or younger ones without experience 2) salary vs what companies want you to do or ur qualifications 3) toxic managers or workers demand alot of things but never comes to work 4) incompetent Managers, expect someone just joined the company knows what need to do without giving them proper guidance. 5) require all sorts of qualifications even for minor/ easy work 6) managers sets absurd targets for sales team even when they barely achieving the previous target Ive worked in many places, i can survive overseas, but not Malaysia

Well said exactly correct. The fake media just wants to point the issue to somewhere else. The only difference is in Asia, its more of a cultural perception.

it is a simple supply and demand problem. So many people with degrees, it means there is an oversupply of labor in relation to the demand for workers in the market, so not many jobs and not well paid.... However, there are many vacancies in the "trades", no electricians, no plumbers, no gardeners... so those professions' wages are going up due to the scarce supply. The problem is the excess college graduates

[@yunfeng2205]

Not specifically intended to praise the government, but SG indeed has more job opportunities. This is due to multiple factors which other countries cannot replicate easily.

Indonesia jobs market: - Diploma must below 25 years old with 1-2 years working experience (minimum) - All-in-one roles (they wanted you like Aang from the Avatar, can master everything) - Paid below national standard wages (you're the Avatar but they wanted to paid you less, even free in the name of "experience") - minimum 50 hours/week - The boomer want you to solved their problem (i'm not kidding) ps: This is the qualification for Junior or Entry level for 80% (or even more) Indonesia jobs market. pps: Thats why almost all of my friends are working overseas. And the one working here are either as State Civil Service (ASN) or BUMN. Only 1 -3 people that change their life to small business owner. ppps: Indonesia jobs market are like they wanted you to be The Avatar and paid you less in the name of "gaining experience".

Low Salary , Boss / Manager want us to do 3 worker job , Boss doing greedy thing like don't want give Over-Time Payment or any other benefit. Malaysia Ringgit falling

[@MonaMoreish]

This was already predicted that the amount of youth employment will rise after covids. lots of business went down during covid, and after covid the world was hit with war that cause the price of many commodities rise highly. with high inflation, government will surely raise interest rate. this make it even harder for people to start their business again. and it will become even worse when your country have lots of corrupt policy maker.

Youngsters too picky. My first job start Nov 2011 only pay rm1500 monthly. The company struggles and frequently missed salary. but I stayed for experience. After two years I began job hunting. 5 years there until i got new job. Now my salary is almost rm5k. I married at age 36.

[@giabaolevu1055]

Young people nowaday have more skills than your old ass at the same age, but can not reach the bare minimum requirement of greedy companies, they want people who are young, low wage, but have 10 years experience, rocket science skill level for a entry level job.

You want higher salary, can you do more, more quality work that warrant higher salary ? Do you want to pay more for same quality of goods or services ?

[@user-hv4ke5kh7xiuh]

you can compare with USD. only work 8 hour for rm10000++ a month compare rm2800 for 12 hour 6 day a week.

[@kk22001]

And our youth in singapore especially the nus and ntu grad thinks that they are entitled for 6-8k pay. With malaysian and mainland chinese they are coming in way lower wages plus AI, these nus and ntu grads can sit at home and rot!

[@fialee8]

It's not that there aren't jobs... there aren't enough jobs for what applicant's want. Fun jobs, work life balance, that pay a lot... there's prob tons of construction, mechanics, manufacturing, and service jobs out there. But youths aren't interested in working hard.

[@schadenfreude6274]

How can there be a Youth Employment Crisis? Everywhere on Social Media I see everyone earning at least $5000, buying Condominiums and enjoying Yearly Holidays 😂😂😂

[@fialee8]

I wonder if there's a correlation between the rise of mobile social media platforms and youth unemployment? I see that anyone under 35yo, they are always glued to their phones even at work. While it may take 20 seconds to check, but if they do that every five minutes, and half the time, they post or respond to someone, that's 2-3mins right there. That eventually means they are not productive up to 1/3 of the time... and that doesn't even factor in starting and restarting, which is also inefficient.

[@xTrovezDiesLastx]

Take it from me, a 26 yr old filipino who is always glued to my phone up to this day but got a good-paying job as an accountant for an AUS firm. The big problem is the local companies. Local companies tend to be more demanding on performance but never equates it with right compensation

CNA why dont you feature youth unemployment in china or the china's foreign investor crisis or china's new security law or china's huge debt? Trying to protect your master??

[@jpk8529]

meh, im not singaporean so im not entitled to an actual opinion. but all i see is a bunch of adults trying to convince themselves that these youths aren't just going to get betrayed later on as the government/corporations then hires more foreign or non-singaporean cheap labor for the jobs that the youths don't want to do, but also strangely, these jobs are also the jobs these bunch of adults in these news videos, also don't want to do. so maybe that explains the unemployment rate. the problem maybe isn't the rate, the problem is our interpretations or understandings of it, and your limited, baby boomer dominant perspective as a news source.
