KUALA LUMPUR: The government has adopted a comprehensive, multi-agency approach to address labour market imbalances, particularly skills mismatches which currently account for 35.7% of the national unemployment rate, says Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad.
The Deputy Human Resources Minister said the rate of skills-related underemployment had dropped from 37.3% in 2022 to 35.7% in the first quarter of 2025, a reduction he attributed to coordinated efforts by various ministries and agencies under the ministry.
