In response to the need for a Malaysian Critical Occupations Shortage List (COSL),
TalentCorp has commissioned PE Research to undertake a research project to review
recent macroeconomic developments in Malaysia’s labour market which highlights
the main labour market developments over the last five years by occupation, by
economic sectors & sub-sectors where possible, and the trends in wage/salaries. The
analysis incorporates socio-economic factors where appropriate, such as gender,
age groups, educational attainment, geographical, and contributions to GDP
(non-exhaustive).
This study also aims at analysing trajectory of the labour market, in association with demographic trends and the economic projections of the government, at least through 2020 but also for the next 10 years to 2025; as well as developing the Critical Occupations List (COL) with appropriate evidence-based explanations and justifications. A score-card approach together with reasonable and validated thresholds are jointly developed to determine which occupations are to be added to or removed from the COL.

measure the migration costs for Vietnamese workers in Malaysia, to analyse of the
various components of migration costs and to shed light on where rent-seeking
behaviour occurs as well as other factors influencing migration costs. The study also
sets a baseline against which to measure reductions in migration costs in the future.
Based on the findings of survey, recommendations concerning the regulation of migration costs are formulated to inform the development of law and policy in Vietnam and Malaysia with the ultimate goal of reducing the vulnerability of migrants and increasing the benefits from international labour migration.

Study on Preparing Human Resources for the New Economy (2002-2003)
The main objective of the study is to develop an understanding of the occupational
trends, in the new economy. The study identifies and addresses issues in the changing
patterns of human resource requirements as the developments of APEC countries shift
into the new economic structure. The study looks into (i) the policies and strategies the
participating countries have in respond to the anticipated change; (ii) the kinds of
firms established in the countries, their outlook, orientation and their ability to shift to
the new economy, and their demand for new skills and jobs; and (iii) the
training/teaching infrastructure that can bring those desired changes. A Survey of
Employers of firms in the Knowledge Sector and a series of Focus Group Discussions
were carried out to gain a deeper understanding of how selected knowledge workers
view the skills and training needs, particularly those that are foreseen over the next
five to ten years.
Other three purposes of this study are identifying the labour market indicators that will
support 11MP, developing (framework and pilot test) the 2016 National Employment
Returns (NER) survey and developing Government officers as subject matter experts in
research fields and the game changers identified in the 11MP. To fulfil the research
objectives, PE team evaluates the Labour Market Information (LMI) in Malaysia, conducts
benchmarking where best practices of selected countries are referred.
Multi-facet analytical methods undertaken in this study include review of existing
literature and past studies on skills and competencies in the selected sectors in the
Malaysian workforce; analysis of the NER 2011 survey and focus group discussions.
