Abstract:
This study attempts to respond to the urgent need to have youth empowered as the foundation of future economic advancement and social sustainability, namely the synergic contribution of education, skill building, and entrepreneurial opportunity generation. One of the long-standing problems is the skills gap between the outputs of formal education and the requirements of the modern fast changing labour market resulting in unemployment and underemployment among the young people. This research suggests the creation and review of an Integrated Youth Skill Ecosystem (IYSE) that would narrow this gap. IYSE framework is developed on three pillars, i.e. modernization of curriculum, individualized skill-pathway, and integrated entrepreneurial.
