[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 29th that it held the final report meeting for the ‘Basic Plan Establishment Service for Youth Policy’ at the county office situation room, attended by about 20 people including County Governor Goo In-mo, Deputy Governor, heads of youth policy-related departments, the Youth Development Committee, Gyeongnam Youth Policy Network, and the Moving Youth Center.

This ‘Basic Plan Establishment Service for Youth Policy’ was conducted by the 21st Century Industry Research Institute from February to July.

Additionally, a five-year basic plan from 2020 to 2024 was established, presenting 38 tasks across four areas: strengthening youth policy and job support, enhancing housing support, revitalizing participation in culture and arts, and creating youth spaces.

On the day, attendees discussed establishing a dedicated youth policy department and ways for youth to directly participate in various county event programs such as culture, arts, and planning to ensure continuous and efficient implementation of youth policies.

Furthermore, to build a youth-led policy proposal and delivery system, they demanded that the governance for public-private cooperation include youth from all age groups so that policies are created together with the youth.

Governor Goo In-mo said, “The future direction of youth policy must shift from a job-centered approach to policies encompassing all areas of youth life, and we will ensure that the basic youth policy plan can respond to rapidly changing youth issues.”
