The 'Incheon City Council Youth Special Committee,' formed by young council members to directly review Incheon City's youth policies and propose measures, has begun full-scale activities.

The Youth Special Committee announced on the 22nd that after forming the committee in December last year, it recently held its second meeting, starting its active work by receiving a report on the current status and plans of youth policy implementation from the Incheon City Youth Policy Officer.

At the meeting, the Youth Special Committee members received a work report from the Youth Policy Officer's office and proposed various policy alternatives.

The main points included ▲consideration of establishing a Youth Development Fund to secure stable funding for youth policy projects ▲building infrastructure for nurturing youth activists and supporting substantial youth organization activities ▲expanding youth startup support to cultivate young talent ▲strengthening promotion and revitalization of the Incheon youth space 'Yuyu Giji' ▲securing budget to ensure the smooth implementation of youth livelihood support projects.

Seok Jeong-gyu, chairman of the Youth Special Committee, stated, "When comparing the number of youth policy projects and budget size between Incheon and Busan, it feels like Incheon lacks interest in youth," adding, "I hope effective policies will be created by listening closely to the voices of young people."
