Impact Study of AI, Digital and Green Economy on the Malaysian Workforce

Understanding the Future of Malaysia’s Workforce

The Impact Study of AI, Digital and Green Economy on the Malaysian Workforce examines how emerging technologies and sustainability trends are reshaping industries, job roles and skills requirements in Malaysia.

Led by TalentCorp, the study provides evidence-based insights to support national workforce planning, human capital development and future-ready talent strategies.

As artificial intelligence (AI), digitalisation and the green economy transform industries globally, the study helps policymakers, employers, educators and individuals understand how these changes will impact Malaysia’s workforce and future skills needs.
