Suncheon City Council Youth Job Support Special Committee Concludes Activities

- Proposal for the Ordinance on Fostering and Supporting Youth Enterprises in Suncheon City

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Suncheon City Council (Chairman Heo Yoo-in) announced on the 17th that the 'Youth Job Support Special Committee (Chairman Park Jong-ho, hereinafter Youth Special Committee)' has concluded its activities over the past year and adopted an activity report.

The Youth Special Committee was formed in March last year to seek practical solutions for youth employment and youth enterprises amid the employment crisis caused by COVID-19.

The committee has continuously worked to prepare policy support measures to solve youth employment issues through youth policy meetings, discussions with young entrepreneurs, and meetings with relevant departments.

As a result, the committee proposed the "Ordinance on the Fostering and Support of Youth Enterprises in Suncheon City," reflecting the voices of young entrepreneurs and various opinions from youth enterprises. If the proposed ordinance is finally approved at the 2nd plenary session of the 258th extraordinary meeting scheduled for the 18th, it is expected to serve as a foundation to actively support youth enterprise activities and contribute to regional economic development.

Chairman Park Jong-ho stated, "I hope that the proposal of the 'Ordinance on the Fostering and Support of Youth Enterprises in Suncheon City,' the establishment of the 'Suncheon Youth Startup Special Zone,' and the activities of the Youth Special Committee will not only turn the steps of young people away from the metropolitan area to prevent regional extinction but also become a catalyst for making youth the main players in regional economic development in the future." He emphasized, "We must continue to pay attention and make efforts so that the efforts to create youth jobs so far can bear fruit."

Meanwhile, the Youth Special Committee, formed through the 249th extraordinary meeting of the Suncheon City Council, consists of nine members including Chairman Park Jong-ho, Vice Chairman Kim Mi-ae, and council members Lee Bok-nam, Yoo Young-gap, Oh Kwang-mook, Kim Young-jin, Park Hye-jung, Park Jae-won, and Lee Hyun-jae. The committee will conclude its activities with the adoption of the activity report at the 2nd plenary session of the 258th meeting.
