1Q Submissions Total 11,533... Under 20s Rank First

The Presidential Office announced on the 18th the analysis results of 11,533 "National Proposals" received through the public online communication channel in the first quarter of this year.


On the same day, the Presidential Office published the "National Proposal Report No. 3," which contains the operational progress of the National Proposals in the first quarter of this year. After being distributed to the relevant agencies, 92% of the proposals had received responses by the end of June.


Big data analysis showed that the main proposal keywords were COVID-19, victims, police stations, China, real estate, and jobs. By sector, the proportions were administration and safety (12.8%), police, prosecution, and courts (11.7%), and finance (8.9%), in that order.


The social atmosphere during the first quarter reflected a period of high public interest in charter fraud, school violence, and various incidents and cases.


The age groups of applicants ranked highest were those under their 20s (25.2%), those in their 50s (20.7%), and those in their 40s (18.6%). The Presidential Office stated that since the third quarter of last year, the participation rate of those under their 20s has been steadily increasing.

Youth under their 20s mainly participated regarding improvements in working conditions such as working hours, workplaces, and wages; relief for victims of various incidents and accidents; opposition to heating and transportation cost increases; and environmental issues related to waste separation.


The Presidential Office is selecting some of the received proposals to develop and promote as policy tasks.



Kang Seung-gyu, Senior Secretary for Civil Society, stated, "We will continuously monitor the implementation status of policy tasks and operate this as a genuine communication channel that responds with policy and field changes, not a showy fake communication."
