& METHODOLOGI
• Nation wide
• Quantitative: Survey using
questionnaire
•
Sample : 6,267 respondents
• Sampling using Enumeration Block by
Department of Statistic, Malaysia
• Respondents from 15 to 40 years

Method of Formulating the MYI Score
Finding the
indicator value
Finding the
domain value
Finding the
Youth Index value
The mean value for each
indicator is subtracted
by the mean score and
is
divided
by
the
difference in the scale.
The value obtained is
then multiplied by 100
(the
highest
index
value).
From
the
indicator
value obtained, it will
be divided by the
overall
number
of
indicators (62) that is
contained
in
the
domain.
Every domain value is divided by
the overall total number of
domains (9), which will form the
composite index.
