Jung Jae-sung, Gwangju Buk-gu Council Member, Proposes 'Youth Talent Utilization System'

Jeong Jae-seong, a member of the Buk-gu Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City, proposed the establishment of a 'Youth Talent Registration System.'

According to the Buk-gu Council on the 20th, Councilor Jeong suggested in a 5-minute free speech during the 3rd plenary session of the 2nd regular meeting of the 290th session the day before that "institutional measures are needed to reflect the voices of youth in policies."

Councilor Jeong pointed out, "The youth population ratio in Buk-gu is 30%, making it the youngest district among Gwangju's autonomous districts, but the proportion of opportunities to propose youth policies is only 11%, so in reality, young people have lacked opportunities to participate in policy-making processes or to engage concretely with district administration.

He added, "Based on talent data voluntarily registered by youth from various fields, young people should be able to directly participate in various district administrative activities," emphasizing, "Effective youth policies must be established, and support should be provided to encourage youth to take greater interest in district administration."
