Estimation of foreign workers in Malaysia by using Euler’s method and least square method / Nur Fatin Adibah Mohd Zin

Malaysia has seen an increase in foreign labour inflows as a result of the country's consistent economic expansion and demographic changes. Foreign labour is concentrated in low-skilled occupations, and the term "foreign worker" in Malaysia specifically refers to a foreigner doing low...
