Gokseong-gun Launches Youth Growth Program in Full Swing

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 11th that it will fully activate the Youth Growth Support System this year to make Gokseong a place where young people want to live.

To support this, the county held the first Youth Growth Support System briefing session of the year on the 10th at the Gokseong-gun Office Communication Maru. Until now, as various departments promoted youth policies, project overlaps and inefficiencies occurred.

Fortunately, with the Youth Growth System, the scattered youth policies have been systematically organized, creating a synergy effect. Also, by jointly responding by department to the demands of young people delivered through various channels, problems can be solved from multiple perspectives.

Representative examples include the Youth Happiness Store, Youth Challenge Market, and Youth Collaboration promoted in 2019.

At the meeting held on the 10th, the achievements of youth policy promotion in 2019 were reported, and plans for youth projects to be promoted by each department in 2020 were shared.

In particular, in 2020, 40 detailed youth projects in four major youth policy areas will be systematized and managed as Youth Growth (startups and jobs), Youth Fulfillment (financial and housing independence foundation), Youth Enjoyment (youth culture), and Youth Farmer Identity (youth farmer cultivation). Seven new projects, including the Art Factory Youth Apprenticeship Support Project and Youth Housing Cost Support Project, were discussed.

Deputy County Mayor Osong-gwi emphasized the importance of youth policy, saying, “Every opinion on the youth projects promoted in 2020 will change the lives of our county’s youth and transform the area into a place where young people want to live.”

He added, “Please focus your capabilities to promote policies that provide practical help to local youth through communication and cooperation between departments via the Youth Growth Support System.”

The county plans to hold a progress review meeting in June and a performance report meeting in December through the Youth Growth Support System, and will also convene temporary meetings as needed to reflect the voices of young people in county administration.
