IYRES implements the methodology of measurement through research

using the positivity or asset development of youths through the Malaysian

Youth Index (MYI).

11


MALAYSIAN YOUTH INDEX (MYI)

• Benchmarking/indicators to

measure quality of life and

wellbeing of Malaysian

youth

• Positivity score of 9 Youth

Domains and 62 indicators.

12


MYI’11: RESEARCH DESIGN

& METHODOLOGI

• Nation wide

• Quantitative: Survey using

questionnaire

• Sample : 6,267 respondents

• Sampling using Enumeration Block by

Department of Statistic, Malaysia

• Respondents from 15 to 40 years

15-20 = 33.9%

21-25 = 16.4%

26-30 = 19.2%

31-40 = 30.5%

Method of Formulating the MYI Score

Finding the indicator value

Finding the domain value

Finding the Youth Index value

The mean value for each

indicator is subtracted

by the mean score and

is divided by the

difference in the scale.

The value obtained is

then multiplied by 100

(the highest index

value).

From the indicator

value obtained, it will

be divided by the

overall number of

indicators (62) that is

contained in the

domain.

Every domain value is divided by

the overall total number of

domains (9), which will form the

composite index.
