Abstract

This study analyzed the status of policy on entrepreneurship educational and start-up support for juvenile offenders. It surveyed teachers and juvenile offenders at juvenile reformatories and protection facilities about their awareness of entrepreneurship and start-up support. The study aimed to identify policy measures that would further support entrepreneurship education and startups for juvenile offenders. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 teachers and 18 juvenile offenders currently incarcerated or discharged from juvenile reformatories or protection facilities. The results revealed the following policy suggestions. First, measures suggested to diversify the educational infrastructure and programs were: (1) establishing a physical infrastructure to foster startups; (2) revitalizing entrepreneurship and start-up education at juvenile reformatories; (3) providing basic education to foster entrepreneurship and startups; and (4) connecting career exploration, vocational training, and start-up education. Second, measures suggested to establish a multi-organizational cooperative system were: (1) establishing a governmental cooperative system, (2) promoting inter-organizational cooperation on field trips, and (3) solidifying inter-organizational cooperation to prevent the stigma effect. Third, measures suggested to strengthen start-up support and follow-up guidance were: (1) identifying areas for startups, (2) providing start-up support for discharged juveniles, (3) improving the family lives of discharged juveniles and providing financial support, and (4) revitalizing the mentoring program using custodians and Pureumi supporters. Consequently, the entrepreneurship educational and start-up support of juvenile offenders is expected to largely contribute to the resocialization of juveniles discharged from juvenile reformatories who otherwise might enter the group of high-risk adolescents in crisis.
