A Study on Employability Among Demographic Factors of Youth (Case Study: Selected Retail Business in Yangon Region (Wutyi Phoo, 2025) Wutyi Phoo This study explores how demographic factors such as gender, age, education level, and work experience affect youth employability in selected retail businesses in the Yangon Region. The main purpose is to examine how these personal characteristics influence employability among young people working in the retail sector. A total of 153 young retail employees took part in the study, and data were collected through structured questionnaires. A quantitative research method was used, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. The findings show that work experience has the strongest influence on youth employability, followed by age and education level. Respondents with more years of work experience and higher education levels showed higher employability scores. Older youth also had higher employability compared to younger age groups. Gender also played a role, with female respondents reporting slightly higher employability than males. Based on the results, the study suggests increasing opportunities for young people to gain work experience through internships, part-time jobs, or training programs. It also recommends improving education and skills training related to retail work. Promoting equal employment opportunities for both male and female workers can also help strengthen employability. These actions can support youth participation in the retail job market and help develop a more capable and inclusive workforce in Yangon. 2025-06-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/11647
