A Dedicated Youth Policy Team to Be Established in Government Ministries
Open Recruitment for Youth Advisors and 2030 Advisory Panel Members
Dedicated youth policy teams will be established in nine government ministries. The Office for Government Policy Coordination announced on the 26th that it is recruiting youth advisors and 2030 advisory members with the goal of launching in August. This system is designed to reflect the perceptions of the youth generation across the entire government agenda. It will be piloted in the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry of Education, Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of Employment and Labor, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Financial Services Commission. After addressing any shortcomings during the operation, the plan is to expand it to all ministries next year.
Youth advisors will be assigned to the offices of ministers in each ministry and committee and will work independently. Their main task is to incorporate the perceptions of the youth generation into key policies. The recruitment target is youth aged 19 to 34. A representative from the Office for Government Policy Coordination explained, “This reflects a key aspect of the new government’s policy philosophy. Since entry barriers would be high for general civil servants, they will be hired as special service grade 5 positions.”

The recruitment target is youth aged 19 to 39. It will consist of about twenty members with a two-year term. A representative from the Office for Government Policy Coordination stated, “We will promptly establish the operational foundation by revising the organizational structure of the nine ministries and committees and enacting a Prime Minister’s directive.”
