In addition, it will expand the current knowledge and increase awareness
of bankruptcy among youth. Thus, this research paper pursues two objectives: to provide a statistical profile of youth bankruptcy and to investigate factors affecting

The interviews were performed and questionnaires were distributed to 140 individual who filed for bankruptcy in the Malaysia Department of Insolvency (MDI) and Credit Counseling
and Debt Management Agency (AKPK). There are seven hypotheses used in testing study aspects, namely gender, race, education, marital status, occupation, work experience, and loans.

financial management is why many youth in Malaysians today carry major debts and face a high probability of going bankrupt. |
