Gyeonggi Province is launching a survey on the actual conditions of adolescents and young adults aged 13 to 34, who have emerged as a new welfare blind spot.
On the 17th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will conduct a survey targeting about 3,500 family caregiving youth and adolescents aged 13 to 34 residing in the province, in collaboration with the Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation and Korea Gallup.
The survey subjects include ▲ students from 2 to 3 schools in each of the 31 cities and counties ▲ young adults who consented to the use of personal information among participants in the Working Youth Account program ▲ young adults who have experience using social welfare institutions.
The survey will be conducted until September this year, and the Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation will publish the final report at the end of October after analyzing the survey results, comparing them with existing research data, and deriving policies.
Although they are not included in the traditional welfare targets such as the elderly, disabled, and children, they are emerging as a new welfare blind spot in need of care.
Earlier, Gyeonggi Province supported six cases after enacting an ordinance on supporting family caregiving youth and young adults last year.
Heo Seung-beom, Director of the Welfare Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Through this survey, we will prepare policies that can provide systematic support to family caregiving youth and young adults and their related families residing in Gyeonggi Province."
