Using data from the 2018 Survey on School-to-Work Transition of Young Malaysians (SWTS), the research addresses gaps in the literature by analysing characteristics that clarify relationships unique to Malaysia.

The analysis highlights several demographic characteristics playing significant roles in influencing the quality of SWT length and education-job mismatch. The study reveals that tertiary-educated young workers in Malaysia secure jobs faster but face prolonged transition periods. Additionally, overeducated individuals experience significant income penalties, and gender composition influences income differentials, with broader gender income gaps among overeducated workers.
