On July 2, President Lee Jae-myung received a report from Ryu Deok-hyeon, his chief advisor on financial planning, regarding the reform of unemployment benefits and measures to stabilize employment insurance finances. He emphasized the importance of gathering sufficient opinions from all stakeholders during the policy implementation process.
President Lee expressed this view during a closed-door discussion at a senior secretary meeting held at the Blue House, as conveyed by Kang Yu-jeong, the chief spokesperson for the Blue House, in a written briefing.
In this context, President Lee suggested institutionalizing a public opinion gathering body with the characteristics of a citizens' assembly to facilitate the opinion collection and public discourse process, according to Kang.
Additionally, President Lee received a report from Lee Joo-hyung, the youth affairs officer, on the analysis of the youth budget and restructuring of youth policies.
The officer noted that youth policies need to be more engaging and impactful, highlighting that the 'Cultural Arts Pass,' which supports expenses for performances, exhibitions, and movie screenings, has received high satisfaction ratings from young people.
President Lee inquired about the age range, usage conditions, application environment, eligibility criteria, and budget size for the current beneficiaries of the 'Cultural Arts Pass.' He suggested that if the policy is well-received and impactful, there should be plans to expand it and apply its principles to other policies, as reported by Kang.
