지역 청년 활력을 위한 청년기본조례의 법적 과제

Abstract

Young people, who were recognized as the driving force of social development, were recognized as a generation of crisis around the 2000s. The crisis of youth was recognized as a social problem, not just an individual problem. Today's youth generation has given up a lot of life due to increasingly social and economic pressures and is not properly positioned as a member of society. In the past, special laws were enacted to secure youth jobs, but local governments established policies covering the entire life of youth and enacted basic ordinances for this. The central government also belatedly enacted the Youth Framework Act in accordance with the youth policies of local governments. The Basic Youth Ordinance, which was first created in Seoul, is being enacted competitively by local governments. In addition, there are youth job ordinances based on special laws and various youth-related ordinances that are unique to each region. However, the Basic Youth Ordinance does not deviate from the existing policy framework, and youths cannot participate in the policy and do not function in practical terms. With the enactment of the Framework Act on Youth, it is necessary to more clearly define the roles of the central government and local governments, and reflect this in the Basic Youth Ordinance. In addition, in the composition of the Youth Policy Coordination Committee, the proportion of youth participation should be greatly expanded. Also, the disclosure of the minutes of the committee and meetings should be stipulated in the ordinance so that more young people can learn about the whole process of the policy. In addition, governance of the relevant actors such as the central government, local governments, and youth should be established to induce policy establishment based on this. Local governments should establish a basis for young people to exchange with young people in other regions to establish more diverse and practical youth policies and an education system to enhance understanding of youth-related policies in the ordinance.
