[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyeok] Osan City held a communication forum with 50 young people at MG Osan Saemaul Geumgo on the 3rd, exchanging various opinions related to youth policies.
The forum served as a candid discussion venue for young people to share the practical difficulties they face and their policy demands. Topics closely related to young people's lives—including employment, housing, marriage and childcare, and civic participation—were discussed. In particular, the participants jointly sought realistic and concrete alternatives to address the issues that young people perceive.
Young people proposed improvement measures regarding several pending issues: △job creation support for youth △resolution of housing problems through expanded rental housing supply △support for marriage, childbirth, and childcare △support for youth cultural activities.
Following the forum, as part of a business agreement on "establishing regional cooperation systems for youth policy" signed between Osan City and MG Saemaul Geumgo, a "Youth Employment Photo" event was held to provide practical assistance to young people amid employment difficulties.
Young people preparing for employment had their resume profile photos taken at Osan City's Gray Lounge Film Studio, and makeup experts from the Dream Volunteer Corps provided meticulous makeup and styling services on-site, garnering considerable positive response.
Mayor Lee Gwon-jae stated, "Through today's forum, I will reflect the difficulties young people are facing and achieve substantive change," and added, "I will do my utmost to transform Osan into a youth-friendly city where young people can settle stably and happily, unafraid to take on challenges and able to dream of the future."
