Abstract

The education of youth employment is a global challenge. This study delves into the intricate education of youth unemployment within suburban areas of Terengganu. The study aims to comprehensively analyse the underlying factors contributing to this phenomenon, exploring the socioeconomic dynamics that shape the employment landscape for young individuals in suburban regions. Through an academic lens, this study examines the multifaceted educations and challenges affecting suburban youth involvement in employment, including personal factors, family influence, and environmental influence. The study employed a qualitative approach, which involved ten informants of youth in Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia. Drawing upon existing literature and statistical data, the study proposes potential strategies and interventions to mitigate suburban youth unemployment, fostering sustainable economic growth and inclusive development.
