This study found that in long run youth unemployment as a significant in negative impact where the increase in 1percent of youth unemployment, it will decrease 0.24 percent of economic growth. For inflation, the result stated that inflation also has positive significant impact in the long run which means that the increase 1percent in inflation, it also improves the economic growth with 0.31percent. As in ASEAN countries, the bidirectional relationship between youth unemployment, inflation and economic growth exist with causality running from youth unemployment and inflation to economic growth in individual.
