Ryu:

We are a policy research institute that conducts research across the full spectrum of social policies, focusing on those in health and welfare.

Senior Researcher Kim:

We aim to promptly identify the challenges people face in their daily lives and contribute to developing policies that address them.

Associate Research Fellow Kim:

Policymaking needs solid evidence to convince people, which is why most of our work involves gathering it. You could say that’s pretty much what we do.

Senior Researcher Kim:

We also identify social issues that are not yet pressing, but which may become so in the future. We then develop these issues into policy agendas, while fostering public discussion around them.
