[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation received the Minister's Award in the group category at the '2021 Youth Policy Merit Awards' in recognition of its contributions to the youth policy sector.

The Youth Policy Merit Awards is a system where the government selects and awards individuals and organizations that have contributed to the promotion of youth rights in various fields such as employment, housing, education, and participation, in accordance with the Youth Basic Act.

The Gyeonggi Job Foundation was the first nationwide to publish the 'Gyeonggi-do Youth Policy Vision Establishment Public Discussion White Paper,' which reflects the concerns and voices of youth, and has taken the lead in promoting the rights of Gyeonggi-do youth through initiatives such as the 'Gyeonggi Youth Job Collaboration Group,' which involves local youth participation.

In particular, through the 'Gyeonggi Youth Job Collaboration Group,' on-site meetings were held to collect opinions from youth space officials in cities and counties and youth stakeholders regarding youth policies, and efforts were made to improve youth policies.

In addition, led by the Youth Employment Headquarters, various youth employment policy projects that help improve the lives of youth beyond just jobs are being operated.

For job-seeking youth, programs such as ▲Gyeonggi-do Youth Interview Allowance ▲Job Match-Up ▲Gyeonggi Youth Hope Jobs ▲High School Employment Activation ▲Gyeonggi-do Style University Student Employment Bridge are being carried out.

Also, for employed youth, projects such as the 'Gyeonggi-do Youth Worker Support Project,' the 'First-time National Pension Enrollment Encouragement Project,' and the 'Youth Entrepreneurship and Employment Education Support Project' are being promoted.

Jeyoon Kyung, CEO of the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation, stated, "We consider it meaningful that the foundation has been recognized for strengthening youth autonomy through this Youth Policy Merit Award," and emphasized, "Going forward, the foundation will take the lead in creating a fair youth employment ecosystem by communicating with the youth of Gyeonggi-do."
