Malaysia’s youth face a paradox: Undi18 expanded voting rights yet political literacy lags (Austria/US comparisons); TVET enrolment surges but underemployment and PISA deficits persist, while Sarawak’s merit shift and MySRBN narrow digital gaps; labour markets show low unemployment but high NEET/gig-economy risks, with TEGAS/SME financing gaps versus ADB benchmarks, suggesting EU-style guarantees could bridge rhetoric and reality.

Sarawak's youth can seize growing cybersecurity career opportunities through CyberSarawak initiatives, gaining essential technical skills, recognised certifications, and practical experience to protect digital infrastructure while contributing to the state's resilient, inclusive digital economy transformation by 2030.

Sarawak’s youth face mounting debt and limited financial capability, making coordinated education, policy action, and community engagement critical for sustainable economic participation.

Social media shapes Sarawak youth’s self-perception, influencing body image and mental health. Addressing this requires media literacy, safer platforms, accessible support, inclusive narratives, and culturally grounded, youth-led interventions for healthier development.

In 2025, Sarawak will strengthen education-industry partnerships to equip youth with digital, technical, and soft skills, ensuring employability, practical experience, and workforce readiness while fostering collaboration across government, schools, and industry.

Through PCDS 2030, Sarawak is shaping a future built on innovation, sustainability, and talent development, empowering young Sarawakians with education, skills, and opportunities to drive the state’s next growth chapter.
