She said "youth poverty negatively affects the sustainability of the parent generation and future generations, and lack experienced in early adulthood delays family transition throughout later life and negatively affects income and asset accumulation, so the targets of youth policy should be expanded in consideration of non-economic poverty."

Park Su-min said "More and more youth people are taking out debt to maintain basic living, so the debt of the youth generation is rising sharply. However, it seems that there is no agreement on whether the youth debt issue is a social issue, for this debt a multidimensional approach to poverty is an important part of solving the problem. In addition, it is necessary to check and improve loan-oriented youth policies."

She said "The severely wage gap appears by dual structure of the current economic structurem, moreover the transaction structure between large corporations and freelancers is excluded from the safety net of the labor law. In addition, the unemployment rate has decreased, but the bottom of the pyramid is widening between the layered structures. Big companies grow, but they don't increase hiring, so there is a need to improve the industrial structure centered on large corporations. Even Trade unions are also moving toward strengthening inequality."

He said "During the COVID-19 period, youth people bought in houses or invested excessively, since then the interest burden on excessive loans has increased as it has become a high-interest rate. Eventually, as the investment crashed youth people committed suicide, but no one is talking about policy failure. Even policies are called to be for youth people, and in fact they intergenerational transfer of wealth."

He said "The normal routine of the older generation has been broken, So many efforts and money are spent to build specifications, and the period is increasing. Also focuses only on opportunity equality, so individuals are blaming individuals of their inability. There should certainly be a chance to revive the weak in their youth, and need for access to youth men in isolation. Even, youth people are being used to strengthen their vested interests and lack preventive measures."

[My opinion]

I was very worried because it was difficult to understand the contents of the first two lectures, so I wondered if I should listen to such a difficult story for two and a half hours. But subsequent lectures were easy to understand, however, even though I am a youth person, the contents of the presentation did not touch much, because I think I thought it was not related to me because I thought it was stories to worry about when I got a job or after that. The most memorable part of the lecture is the contradiction of policies for youth people, because I would not have known about policies that eventually seek to take care of their own interests under the name of youth people if I had not looked closely. Lastly, It was a lecture that reminded me of the saying that ignorance is also sin, because if I don't care, I may live thinking that the wrong thing is the right thing to do.

I went around the park and observed people, and if I think it's first time seeing someone, I've counted, but there may be an error, because people kept walking around, too. I met 157 people in total. People went around the sports grounds in the park, and they went straight from the entrance of the park and walked to the walking course that turned left. And some people only moved within the playground and the exercise equipment, they also went walking course backwards or narrowly caught the course and moved only in it, however, it was difficult to grasp all the movements because there were many people. People's characteristics and ages varied, too. Most of the people around my age were taking a walk with their dogs. The elderly rested, took a walk, or rode their bikes on the bench. Children played a ball, played water, also played on the exercise equipment and rode a bicycle. The walk was done by many people regardless of age, in addition, there were people who worked out on the sports court and people who ran. Many elderly wore windbreakers, long sleeves, and long pants, also, people my aunt's age were wearing the same clothes or sportswear. On the contrary, children and others of my age wore short sleeves and shorts or long pants. Surprisingly, I didn't see many people using electronic devices like Buzz. 

[works well or doesn't work well for this site]

The works well thing about walking around the park is that there are a lot of benches, so there are a lot of places to sit. However, the fact that there are many spiders on the park's legs and that the weeds are inside the park hurt the landscape, it also looked dangerous because there were wires in the water where the children were playing. 

[Ask a question you have about the space]

The question I have while looking at the park is why the trash can is not separated and discharged. The waste can of the park was only named trash can, this will be cumbersome because they have to work twice when collecting trash.
