Budget 2024 was touted as a unique opportunity for the government to comprehensively address the multifaceted needs and aspirations of Malaysia's workforce, as the nation commits to achieving full employment by 2030. From the rising cost of living, to worker protection, financial well-being, to underemployment, Joelle Pang from FastCo Malaysia talks to us about the path that lies ahead of us, and what all stakeholders in the Malaysian employment landscape can do to strike the right balance between economic growth and the well-being of the workforce.
