Gyeonggi-do's 15 Public Institutions Unite for Joint Policy Research... Launch of G-Plus Policy Platform

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

The ‘G Plus (G+) Policy Platform,’ which jointly conducts policy research for the development of Gyeonggi Province, was launched on the 26th.

Fifteen public institutions under Gyeonggi Province, including the Gyeonggi Research Institute, held their first heads of institutions meeting at the Gyeonggi Research Institute within the Talent Development Center in Jangan-gu, Suwon, to discuss joint agendas for the next year.

The participating institutions in the G Plus Policy Platform include Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Social Service Institute, Gyeonggi Market and Commercial Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Women and Family Foundation, Gyeonggi Job Foundation, Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation, Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation, Gyeonggi Content Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Environment and Energy Promotion Agency, and the Next Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute.

Earlier, the Gyeonggi Research Institute and others signed a related business agreement on August 31 and, after a working-level consultation on September 14, selected ‘population’ as the joint agenda for next year. They will study the sectoral impacts, risks, and response policies related to population decline until October next year.

Regarding detailed research by each institution, the Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation and Gyeonggi Social Service Institute will study issues such as elderly care, while Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation and Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation will research housing, urban, and transportation demand and long-term change directions.

Additionally, the Gyeonggi Job Foundation and Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency will examine industry-specific response policies to the decline in the youth population, and the Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Agency will review university structural reforms due to the decrease in school-age population.

The secretariat of the G Plus Policy Platform will be managed by the Gyeonggi Research Institute until October next year, with the possibility of changing the secretariat or increasing participating public institutions later. They also plan to officially announce policies to propose to Gyeonggi Province.

Joo Hyung-cheol, president of the Gyeonggi Research Institute, said, “We have gathered opinions between institutions on joint research through working-level councils and discussed joint agendas and implementation methods. Participating institutions will cooperate in various forms such as seminars, forums, and information sharing to go beyond simple research cooperation and provide practical help to the lives of Gyeonggi residents and present the vision of Gyeonggi Province’s administration.”
