Jeon Minho, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member, "Will Strive to Guarantee Youth Rights"
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The “Jeonnam Youth Participation Committee Formation and Operation Ordinance Amendment,” proposed by Shin Min-ho, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member (Democratic Party of Korea, Suncheon 6), passed the Planning and Administration Committee review on the 19th.
The “Jeonnam Youth Participation Committee” is an institutional body established to enable active participation of youth in the process of promoting youth-related policies. It is composed of 26 youths aged 9 to 24 from across Jeonnam Province.
At a meeting held on the 5th, the committee stated, “There are many cases where opinions and suggestions presented by the committee do not receive feedback on the handling results,” and proposed “the establishment of a mechanism to receive feedback on the review results of proposals and regulations for payment of allowances for committee activities.”
In response, Assemblyman Shin Min-ho said, “To ensure the active and autonomous participation and sustainable activities of the Youth Participation Committee representing Jeonnam youth, we have established grounds in the ordinance for collecting opinions and for payment of allowances and travel expenses.”
He added, “The vivid voices of youth must be included in youth policies,” and “We will strive to guarantee youth participation and rights to enhance the effectiveness of Jeonnam youth policies and promote their welfare.”
