Description

I aim to study/research what under-employment means for young (under the age of 21) Cambodians, and how it affects employment opportunities. A lack of education, productive skills, and infrastructure in the countryside reduces the opportunities for full-time, productive employment in any economic sector. I expect that there will be positive relationships between the independent variables (education, productive skills and basic infrastructure) and the dependent variable (youth employment). As education levels increase, productive skills increase and basic infrastructure increases, so will the employment opportunities and abilities to increase wages or income.
