[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] 'Just as a thirsty person digs a well,' youth policies devised by the minds of young people are hitting the mark.

Busan Gijang-gun is radically changing the way youth policies are established to provide young people with active opportunities for social participation and to enhance their own rights and interests.

Gijang-gun has decided to publicly recruit the '1st Gijang-gun Youth Policy Discovery Group.' This allows young people to contribute to policies for themselves.

The Youth Policy Discovery Group will carry out tasks such as gathering youth opinions, monitoring policies, discovering various youth policies, and participating in policy formulation, serving as a governance partner in youth policy.

Applications for participation will be accepted from October 26 to November 30, and any youth aged 19 to 34 residing in Gijang-gun who is interested in youth policy can apply.

A Gijang-gun official stated, “No matter how good a policy is, if it does not resonate with the beneficiaries, it is a useless administration,” adding, “The Youth Policy Discovery Group will be highly beneficial as the direct beneficiaries, the youth themselves, discover policies and participate in policy formulation.”
