Abstract
This paper discusses the overall unemployment situation in Malaysia. One of the main explanations of unemployment is said to be the changing expectations of the workforce.Malaysians are said to have come to expect greater job satisfaction and higher wages than are currently available. Therefore one issue seems to be the nature of the jobs created by current economic growth and the expectations of the workers themselves. The paper also discusses the changing pattern of unemployment Unemployment profile and the labour market policies against unemployment. Finally the paper suggest a number of strategies to combat unemployment. One of them is through human resources oriented development. It seems that this strategy would put greater attention on the type of jobs created and the structure jobs as well as the quality of skills of workers.
