The youth policy delivery system fitting the policy environment should be conducive to improving living standards for young people and securing the growth of youth activists.



  • The central government should enhance the justification of the need for a youth policy delivery system. Establishing the system is part of laying the groundwork for securing universal social rights.


  • Youth policies to be delivered by the delivery system should be practical, specialized, accountable, and integrated, based on the characteristics of local socio-economic contexts.


  • The environment surrounding youth policies should be reorganized to secure the sustainability of the delivery system.


According to Cheong Se-jeong, associate research fellow of KIHASA, delayed, diversified, and stratified implementation of social programs in a changing social structure have made it difficult for young people to take their place in society’s social security system. She adds that the youth policy delivery system should function as a universal social protection system for youths until work is completed on making social security programs complement each other, thus filling service gaps, and responsive at all times to social changes and crises. She also emphasized that youth policies to be delivered should be designed by each local government under their own plans to meet specific needs arising from different socio-economic contexts.
