Unemployment is the top worry for Cambodian youth, according to a survey released on 7 August.
Almost half – 49 per cent – of 630 people surveyed across the country cited unemployment as their main concern in the survey conducted by the Youth Committee for Unity and Development, a coalition of Cambodian youth associations.
Thol Dyna, who authored the study, said worries about unemployment were mostly due to poor education quality, low salaries and few formal job opportunities.
