1. Study Objectives and Method
1) Research Background and Objective.
○ (Background) While policy and budget support are being increased qualitatively to create a community favorable for the youth, there has been no discernible improvement in the outflow of Jeonbuk’s youth population to other cities and provinces.
○ Among the Jeonbuk youth, there is a relatively higher outflow level of females. Therefore, gender perspectives must be considered when establishing and implementing the Jeonbuk youth policy.
○ (Objective) This study proposes an improvement plan for gender balance and policy perception by analyzing the 2023 Jeonbuk youth policy (focused on three fields) from the gender perspective based on youth demand. For this, a gender impact assessment, gender requirement analysis, youth-led youth policy assessment and monitoring, and in-depth interviews deduced a youth policy improvement plan reflecting the youths’ voice on policy demands.
2) Research Method
1. Literature and administrative data were reviewed, including relevant policy research reports, academic journals, and policy trend data.
2. Source materials were reanalyzed, including the population census, resident registration population status, population migration statistics, regional employment survey, economically active population survey, residential condition survey, and youth living condition survey (2022), identifying the population status and gender requirements of the Jeonbuk youth.
3. The gender impact assessment was analyzed by a gender specialist to determine an ordinance related to Jeollabuk-do youth and a youth policy improvement plan reflecting the gender perspective.
4. Youth-led policy monitoring from the gender perspective and in-depth interviews were conducted to identify the youths’ policy demands.
2. Conclusion and Policy Suggestion
