| Abstract | Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has always been treated as current issue that studied by many researchers. Inconsistency growth of GDP per capita within a country will lead to higher incidence of poverty as well as hinder the progress in health, education, crime and eventually the economic growth. The factors towards GDP growth are relatively important to prevent the occurrence of socio-political instability. This paper investigates the relationship between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and the factors such as Inflation, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Female Labor Force Participation in Malaysia. Annual time series data for the 1982 to 2013 periods, the Ordinary Least Square Method (OLS) and Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) are used for the analysis. The results identify that among the factors of FDI and Female Labor Forces have positive impact on GDP growth. However, FDI is the only variable that contributes significantly to GDP growth in Malaysia. Moreover, Inflation correlated negatively with GDP growth but it is not significant factor towards GDP growth in Malaysia. Furthermore, it is found that the GDP, Inflation, FDI and Female Labor Forces are stationary in levels. Based on the result, it is suggested by maintaining the stability on inflation; Malaysian government can increase tax and reduce government spending in order to reduce the inflationary pressure. In addition, identify solutions for current economic obstacles. |
