代际理论指出，在历史上相似时期出生的人会经历相似的政治、社会和经济现实。该理论寻找重大历史事件并确定这些事件对现有社会秩序和价值体系的影响。劳动力转型随着时代和国家的不同而发生着巨大的变化。目前，存在三个主要的劳动力世代群体：婴儿潮一代、X一代和Y一代，这些群体直接取自西方世代理论，并在全球范围内广泛使用。考虑到像马来西亚这样的国家，由于各个国家的生活事件各不相同，可识别的一代群体可能会被误导。婴儿潮一代的命名示例指的是西方世界的出生高峰，而在同一时期的马来西亚，不可能观察到类似的繁荣。这项概念性研究试图掩盖马来西亚的人口现实。本文的目的是展示基于过去 70 年（从 1940 年代至今）马来西亚社会经济和人口转型的实际代沟标签的制定。该研究的作者将这几代人定义并标记为探索者 (pencari)、建设者 (pembina)、开发者 (pemaju) 和因劳动力转型和历史事实而产生的 Z 世代 (Generasi Z)。
Generational theory states that people born at a similar time frame in history would experience similar political, social and economic realities. The theory looks for significant historical events and identifies the impact these have on existing social order and value systems. Workforce transformation evolves significantly from era-to-era and from nation-to-nation. Presently, there are three major workforce generational cohort groups: Baby boomers, Gen. X, and Gen. Y that were taken directly from the Western generational theory and widely used across the globe. In consideration for a country such as Malaysia, the identifiable generation cohort groups may be misguided as life events vary across country to country. The example of naming of the terms baby boomers referred to the booming of births in the Western world whereas in Malaysia for that same time period it is impossible to observe a similar boom. This conceptual study attempts to shield light of the demographic reality in Malaysia. The aim of this paper is to show the formulation of labels reflecting the actual generational gaps based on Malaysian socio- economic and demographic transitions over the past 70 years period (from 1940s to present time). The authors of the study have defined and labelled the generations as the seekers (pencari), the builders (pembina), the developers (pemaju) and the Generations Z (Generasi Z) arising from the workforce transformation and historical facts.
