Situation Analysis of Adolescents in Malaysia
To inform planning & programming in Malaysia
Highlights
Interventions that promote adolescent development and well-being can have a profound impact on a person’s life, including in the areas of health, education and employment, participation in community and civic affairs, and relationships, and lay important foundations for adulthood.
As such, this critical and formative developmental period should inform UNICEF’s planning and programming in Malaysia. This report was developed during the drafting of a broader research report, the Situation Analysis of Women and Children in Malaysia, which includes an assessment and analysis on outcomes for children in Malaysia.
An Infographic Booklet has also been developed as a summarized, visual version of the full ‘Situation Analysis of Adolescents’ report. Certain sections of this booklet have been updated with more current data, which became available since the publication of the full report in 2020.
