THE Education Ministry’s Graduate Tracer Study shows that 30,765 or 59.9% of our 51,365 graduates have been unemployed for more than one year.
The Budget 2020 Malaysians@Work initiative, where graduates who secure a job after being unemployed for more than a year will receive RM500 per month from the government for two years and employers will also receive a hiring incentive of up to RM300 per month for each new hire over two years, would help as a temporary measure to solve the problem of graduate unemployment.
