[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon presided over the first meeting of the 4th Youth Policy Coordination Committee after its launch at Seoul City Hall on the 10th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced. The 4th committee began its term on October 20.

At the meeting, the committee elected a co-chairperson by vote to represent the Youth Policy Coordination Committee alongside Mayor Oh, and reviewed and adjusted the "2025 Seoul Youth Comprehensive Plan," a roadmap for Seoul's youth policy for the next five years.

The "2025 Seoul Youth Comprehensive Plan" is a mid- to long-term plan to realize "Youth Seoul," a key agenda presented by Mayor Oh upon taking office, and was prepared based on the opinions of youth stakeholders and experts. According to this plan, Seoul will invest approximately KRW 6.27 trillion by 2025 in 53 tasks across five major areas: jobs, housing, education, welfare/culture/lifestyle, and participation/rights.

Among these, KRW 5 trillion will be allocated by 2025 to 20 key tasks in three core promotion areas: Youth PASS, Youth SAVE, and Youth JUMP, with progress to be regularly monitored. Seoul plans to announce the final version of the "2025 Seoul Youth Comprehensive Plan" within the year, reflecting the discussions held at this meeting.

Mayor Oh said, "We have established the 2025 Youth Policy Comprehensive Plan that will change the lives of Seoul's youth over the next five years, especially for those facing more difficult realities than ever before," and added, "I ask for your generous advice throughout your term to ensure that policies that can provide practical help to youth are well implemented."
