[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Daegu City announced on the 14th that it will hold the Daegu Citizens' Roundtable Conference on the 15th at 7 p.m. via non-face-to-face video discussion (ZOOM) under the theme "A Changing Era! A City Nurturing Talent, Daegu Where Youth Gather."

The 21st Daegu Citizens' Roundtable Conference was originally planned to be held both face-to-face and non-face-to-face, but considering the recent spread of COVID-19 infections mainly in the metropolitan area, it was switched entirely to a non-face-to-face video discussion. The meeting will be broadcast live through the YouTube channel (21st Daegu Citizens' Roundtable Conference).

Through this roundtable conference, Daegu City plans to collect citizens' ideas on practical tasks by local stakeholders such as companies, universities, youth, civil society, and local governments, and to hear creative opinions from various generations on education, housing, and local network activities.

Prior to the roundtable conference, a preliminary survey was conducted with 1,237 citizens, and 71% of respondents cited jobs as the main reason why youth leave Daegu. The majority expressed the opinion that quality jobs and stable housing environments are necessary for youth to stay in Daegu. Regarding talent development needed for regional community development, the keywords most frequently expressed were "creative," "character," and "communication."

Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin stated, "Population outflow, especially youth migration, poses a regional crisis. I hope this will be a forum for discussion where all citizens can share their thoughts to embrace youth through creating a city with open opportunities and a city culture that respects the expectations and trust between generations."
