“…Other researchers have studied the priority skills required for the electrical engineering student’s marketability in Malaysia by using ISM ( Hasan et al, 2017 ). Singh and Panackal (2017) have employed ISM to study the relationship between the youth and sustainable indicators through the development model. Another research studies the relationships between sustainability and ecopreneurship in the youth by using ISM ( Panackal et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Even though youth policies and indexes were monitoring the youth qualities, sustainable development, which is vital for all stakeholders, is still lacking ( Singh and Panackal, 2017 ). Conversely, despite the profound implications of these findings, most of the existing interventions of youth self-potential development seem to be conducted in isolation in terms of the impact of the youth outcome ( Ciocanel et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Leadership is defined in this study as the ability to become a positive agent of change in the society. The youth are considered as essential assets for the well-being of a nation with the ability to bring changes, contribute, and bring positive shifts by fighting against corruption, bribes, and every social ill ( Singh and Panackal, 2017 ). Leadership is also measured by the ability to lead others effectively.…”

A co-creation values consumers’ input as its primary crust in informing businesses on current consumer needs. More importantly, it would be the next shape in future demands of consumers in business sustainability. This paper addressed this context, narrowing its scope in investigating the voices of stakeholders on what would be the essential aspects of the present and future youth qualities in achieving sustainable well-being in the present trend. The findings would be essentially helpful for the youth and the business world to understand the aspects of good youth development, which would shape the next fabric of consumerism. Self-potential development of the youth is vital in achieving excellent life quality and the youth’s well-being in Malaysia. However, the increase in challenges faced by today’s youth is inconsistent with a decline of the group’s well-being. There are various studies and interventions implemented to overcome the youth situation. However, there is still in need for a model that can guide the holistic development of youth self-potential. The purpose of this study is to build a sustainable and comprehensive model of the self-potential development of the youth, which can be integrated with all of the self-potential indicators of the youth via a co-creation process. This study used the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) on the proposed elements in the development model and systematically analyzed them using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to create the development model. The method capitalized 10 stakeholders from various youth development backgrounds in developing the model. The model consists of 25 sub-indicators (SIs, elements) that are divided into five indicators. The model findings show that one of the most driving indicators is an entrepreneurial mindset among youth, followed by the other indicators of youth self-potential development. The model also shows that the civic-mindedness indicator is the output of youth self-potential that will surface at an end of the development. The model will guide the authorized body on the priority elements that can systematically and strategically improve youth self-potential to meet future challenges with youth aspirations.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the extent of public participation of youth in strategic planning for local sustainable development, emphasising the establishment of a positive dialogue process between public administration and young people. Previous studies and international guidelines recognise youth as an essential group in the territorial sustainability process but also require a framework for processes and modalities for youth participation.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis was carried out according to a multiple-case study approach conducted from the secondary sources (e.g. planning documents enabling sustainable development at the local level) developed by the 14 Italian metropolitan cities to assess the state-of-the-art and establish similarities and differences concerning the engagement levels found in the literature.FindingsAlthough almost all the sample has undertaken a youth engagement process, this research demonstrates that only 6 out of 14 metropolitan cities - corresponding to 43% of the sample - have promoted highly engagement-intensive forms, underlining a total absence of a standardised and recursive approach in which the younger generation is consistently an integral part of sustainability strategies.Originality/valueThis research is innovative as it addresses practical and theoretical objectives simultaneously. The study underlines the adoption of engagement processes by metropolitan cities by considering the participatory methods implemented and providing a framework for enhancing forms of dialogue between young people and public authorities, contributing to the advancement of theoretical understanding and practical implementation.
