The purpose of this paper is to study the youth policy between Korea, the United States and Japan on the comparative perspective. Especially, We analyse the youth policy of three countries on the law relating the youth policy, the adminstration system for youth policy, policy contents. Through the work, We want to get some implications to youth policy of Korea. Firstly, the implication from the youth policy of United States is that it is need the integrating administration system for youth should be constructed and the programs providing for youth should be evaluated. Secondly, Local self-governing group is should be reinforced and youth programs centered on the local community should be executed. Thirdly, the substantial aim of the youth programs helps their development, it is needed the development of youth program through the analysis of youth programs on the foreign countries for this aim. and then we can also get some implications from Japan youth policy. Firstly, youth policy should not be separated from child policy and aged policy, but should be integrated following their developmental stage. Secondly, the aim of youth policy should be coordinated as the change of an environment and an age. In other words, the youth is the subject of youth policy and the aim and contents of youth policy should be orientated from youth. Lastly, first of all the integrity, efficiency and continuity of organizations and administration relating youth affairs should be considered on the youth policy 본 연구는 한국, 미국 그리고 일본의 청소년정책을 정책목표 및 과제, 정책추진체계, 청소년정책과 관련된 법률, 제도적 장치의 마련, 정책내용별 분석을 통하여 향후 한국의 청소년정책에 대한 함의점을 도출하는데 그 목적이 있다고 할 수 있다. 먼저 미국의 청소년정책에서 얻을 수 있는 시사점으로는 첫째, 국가가 지역단위에서 추진되고 있은 프로그램들을 종합적, 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하여야 하며, 정부가 지원하는 사업에 대한 평가를 실시하여야 한다는 점이다. 둘째, 효과적인 청소년정책의 추진을 위해서는 지방자치단체의 역량을 강화할 필요가 있으며, 청소년 프로그램 또한 지역사회를 중심으로 추진되어야 한다. 셋째, 외국에서 시행되고 있는 유사프로그램에 대한 분석을 통해 청소년에게 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하여야 한다. 다음으로 일본의 청소년정책이 시사하는 바로는 첫째, 청소년정책은 각각의 발달단계에 따라 분리되어서는 안되며, 상호 연계 및 통합되어야 한다는 점이다. 즉, 아동정책과 성인, 여성 그리고 노인정책과의 유기적인 연계가 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 정책추진부서를 단일화할 필요가 있겠다. 둘째, 청소년정책의 목표는 시대적, 환경적 변화에 맞게 설정되어야 한다는 점이다. 즉, 청소년정책의 목표 및 과제에 청소년을 맞추는 것이 아니라 변화하는 청소년에 따라 정책의 목표 및 과제가 설정되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 관련부서의 실무자로 이루어진 실무자회의를 적극적으로 추진할 필요가 있겠다.

인구구조 변화에 따른 청년 사회・정치참여의 필요성 및 방안

이윤주 법과사회이론학회 2019 법과 사회 Vol.0 No.61

From the latter half of the 2000s, the youth is emerging as a group of clear identity beyond the concept of sociological group and further beyond the notion of designating a social group of people in the specific ages. This implies that the youth identity is not only limited to the economic inequality but also closely related to the daily politics embracing social and cultural fields. The social views over the youth are changing in accordance with the changes in the social environment including low birth rate, aging, high education level and low growth. Meanwhile, criticisms exist that the young generation are disinterested in the politics and society, so that they do not even participate in a passive way when it comes to discussions over the social and political participation of the youth. However, if categorized in details, the political disinterest and inactivity have common features in that both lead to passive actions but the implications are very different indeed. While the causes of depoliticizing are sought after from the youth for the political disinterest, the political inactivity appears when the demands of the youth are not accepted in the society and when the youth are systematically excluded from participation. The former can be improved with the training of citizens but the latter requires seeking solutions from legislative systems. As a result, proposing an alternative of a single method without separating the nature of the two issues, would generate not a very attractive result. Also for the same reason, the political and social disinterest of the youth should be closely monitored from the systematic level of political and social exclusion and not from individual perspectives. It proposes how important it is for a sturdy system setup to encourage the political participation of the youth. This research intends to seek measures to promote social, and political participation of the youth based on the Framework Act on the Youth (draft bill) proposed in the 20th National Assembly. 최근 한국사회에서 청년은 단순히 특정 연령대에 걸쳐있는 사회적 집단을 지칭하는 개념을 넘어서 다른 세대와 차별화되는 정체성을 지닌 집단으로 등장하고 있다. 청년의 정체성은 단지 경제적 불평등 문제에 국한되지 않고, 사회, 문화 영역을 포괄하여 일상생활 정치와 밀접하게 연관되어 있다. 더불어 저출산과 고령화, 고학력화와 저성장 등 복합적으로 사회여건이 변함에 따라 청년을 바라보는 사회적 관점에도 변화가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 청년의 사회․정치참여의 의도와 실천이 개인적 차원이 문제가 아니라 제도적 차원에서도 보장하기 위한 사회적 안전망의 필요성을 제안한다. 더불어 중앙과 지방정부에서 시행하는 청년 정책을 토대로 청년의 사회・정치참여를 활성화하기 위한 방안을 모색해보고자 한다.

Youth participation in Democratic Politics: Impediments and prospects

Balaganapathi Devarakonda,Nidhi Jarwal 한국외국어대학교 인도연구소 2022 남아시아연구 Vol.27 No.4

Democracy is the most preferred form of government in the contemporary world as it facilitates citizens' active political participation, which is considered its strength. The fundamental definition of democracy, "the rule of people," highlights that every citizen, irrespective of social, gender, or cultural differences, is both the ruler and the ruled simultaneously. One of the significant segments of the population of every democratic state is its youth. As youth is considered the country’s future, possessing a substantial segment of youth is ideal for a vibrant, dynamic, and developed country. Today youth is doing wonders in most fields like sports, entrepreneurship, information technology, administration, and so on, but remain underrepresented in politics in many world countries. Therefore, this paper analyses the place of youth at different forms of political participation in democracy as they represent the future of national and global politics. The paper aims to study the value of youth in the politics of democratic states and to estimate the hurdles in their political participation, such as individual obstacles, social and cultural concerns, problems of political institutions, and issues of civic education. To make a long-term difference, young people should have adequate representation in political institutions, processes, and decision making. The methodologies that this paper adopts are analytical and exploratory in assessing the place of youth in political participation and explicating the causes for their underrepresentation in politics. It provides a citizen's perspective to understanding politics and political participation in democracy. It assesses various forms of political participation and analyses youth participation in them. The basic argument of this paper is youth is indifferent and apathetic to politics. They are not involved in formal political participation, so they are absent in formal politics, political institutions, and decision-making. The need to make youth aware of their rights and duties and improve their representation in politics in a meaningful way is stressed in the discussion. The research questions for this paper are: What are youth's place and role in political participation? Are young people indifferent to politics? Why do young people not get opportunities to be involved in formal politics? What are the reasons for the underrepresentation of youth in politics? This study responds to these questions and provides some suggestions to improve the political participation of youth in democracy. This paper is structured in three sections. The first discusses ‘the meaning, role, and forms of political participation,’ and the second, with ‘youth and political participation’ to analyse the place of youth in politics and discuss reasons for improving the same. The paper’s third section deals with the obstacles youth face in political participation, followed by a conclusion that provides suggestions for strengthening youth participation in democracy.

청년의 정부 청년정책 신뢰수준 영향변인 분석: 사회·인구학적 특성, 청년의 청년정책에 대한 인식, 청년정책 기대수준, 청년취업 공정수준과의 관계를 중심으로

구철회 한국청소년학회 2022 청소년학연구 Vol.29 No.7

본 연구의 목적은 청년의 정부 청년정책 신뢰에 관련된 인구·사회학적 변인들을 파악하고, 청년의 청년정책에 대한 인식, 청년정책 기대수준, 청년취업 공정수준이 정부 청년정책 신뢰에 미치는 영향력을 분석함으로써 적실성 있는 청년정책 방향을 제시하는 것이다. 우선 연구대상자들의 사회·인구학적 특성을 분석하고, 사용 척도의 신뢰도를 담보하기 위하여 Cronbach α계수를 파악하였다. 나이, 경제적 수준, 청년정책에 대한 인식, 청년정책 기대수준, 청년취업 공정수준, 정부 청년정책 신뢰에 대한 남녀 간 차이를 살펴보기 위하여 t-test를 실시하였다. 그리고 선택한 변인들이 정부 청년정책 신뢰에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면, 첫째, 청년들의 경제적 수준, 청년정책 기대수준, 정부 청년정책에 대한 신뢰 인식 정도에서 남녀 간 차이가 유의미하게 나타났다. 둘째, 청년정책에 대한 인식 수준이 정부 청년정책 신뢰에 유의한 영향력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 청년취업 공정수준 인식이 정부 청년정책 신뢰에 추가적인 영향력과 조절력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. This paper aims to suggest the direction of government youth policies by identifying socio-demographic variables related to young people's trust in government youth policies, and analysing the influence of young people's perceptions of youth policies, youth policy expectations, and youth employment fairness levels on government youth policy trust. Looking at the results of the study, first, there were differences between men and women in the economic level of young people, the expectation level of youth policy, and the level of trust in the government's youth policy. Second, it was found that the level of awareness of youth policy had a significant influence on the government's trust in youth policy. Third, it was found that the perception of the fair level of youth employment has additional influence and control power on the trust in the youth policy in the government. Based on the results of this study, implications for the government to consider in establishing youth policies were presented, and the limitations of the study and follow-up studies were discussed.

청년정책과 청년 담론 : 젠더 관점의 고찰

김수아 이화여자대학교 젠더법학연구소 2021 이화젠더법학 Vol.13 No.2

이 글의 목적은 청년기본법(2020년)에 기초하여 구성된 제1차 청년정책 기본계획의 내용과 특징을 정리하고, 젠더 관점의 부재로 인해 발생할 수 있는 청년정책에서의 사회적 배제 문제를 다루는 것이다. 제1차 청년정책 기본계획은 기존의 청년정책이 취업과 창업을 중심으로 구성된 데 반해, 주거, 복지, 문화, 금융, 참여 권리 등 다양한 영역에 걸쳐 청년의 권익 증진을 위한 정부 정책을 제안하고 있다는 점에서 진일보한 면이 있다. 그러나, 취약계층 청년을 분류하여 복지 대상으로만 설정하고, 다른 한편으로 젠더 관점을 포함하지 않고 청년을 남성 기준의 보편 주체로 설정하여 여성의 문제를 청년과 분리하는 결과를 낳았다. 이에 따라 일자리, 주거와 복지에서의 청년 여성의 정책 수요를 반영하지 못하고 있는 문제가 있다. 격차 축소라는 목표 속에 성차별을 주요 의제로 삼지 않고 있는 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 청년정책 수요에서 성별 분리 통계 및 변화 양상에 대한 충분한 논의가 필요하고, 정상가족 규범을 근거로 하는 이행기의 청년 관점을 전환할 필요성이 논의되었다. The purpose of this study is to organize the contents and characteristics of the 1st Framework Plan for Youth Policy grounded on the Basic Act on Youths (2020) and deal with the issue of social exclusion in youth policy that may be resulted from the absence of gender perspective. Although previous youth policy was mainly about either employment or foundation, the 1st Framework Plan for Youth Policy is a step forward in that it suggests government policy for enhancing youths’ rights and interests in many different areas including their housing, welfare, culture, finance, or right to participate. The plan, however, classifies a vulnerable group of youths as a target of welfare and sets up youths as universal subjects with no perspective on gender, which has resulted in separating the issues of women from those of youths. Therefore, it fails to reflect female youths’ policy demand on employment, housing, or welfare. It is needed to discuss statistics grounded on gender division and the aspects of change in their demand on youth policy sufficiently, and this study has discussed the necessity to change the perspective of youths in transitional period based on the norms of normal family.

‘학생’과 ‘노동’으로 고찰한 청소년 정체성 - 청소년소년 『곁에 있다는 것』을 중심으로 -

오세란 한국아동청소년문학학회 2022 아동청소년문학연구 Vol.- No.31

The purpose of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of the inversion of the meaning of youth in the performance of speech, which used to refer to youth as a student, and its effect. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to examine the reality of identity as a ‘generation preparing for the future’ and ‘a generation that needs to learn something’ contained in the language of students. Specifically, I tried to define the identity of youth created by the modern system by visualizing ‘youth labor’, an invisible area of youth that does not converge as a student. To approach this phenomenon in a historical context, the antagonistic relationship between youth labor and student status was examined by analyzing youth labor in Kim Jung-mi’s youth novel 『Being by your side』. Looking at cases from the youth labor of women working in factories in the 1970s and 1980s to the recent part-time work of youth, the identity of workers in the early days of youth workers was replaced by students and changed to part-time workers, and the tasks of youth were changed to that of students. The identity of the youth was defined as the existence of a minor while replacing them with the task of studying or entrance exams. It was excluded from the independent self-awareness that youth can acquire through labor or from the identity of youth as a current economic entity. The identity of youth as a ‘student’ in modern society cannot be overlooked or denied. It is an undeniable fact that identity of student is one element of identity of youth. However, it is also necessary to think of the presentness of the independent self-awareness shown through youth workers as a possibility to constitute the identity of boys. After all, the current identity of youth is a narrow definition created by adult power in modern society.

A Study on the Importance and Performance of Youth Activities for the Introduction of High School Credit System

( Lee Hae Gyoung ),( Son Jin Hee ) 한국청소년활동학회 2021 한국청소년활동연구 Vol.7 No.4

목적: 청소년활동현장을 탐색하여 고교학점제의 성공적인 도입을 위한 추진 방안을 제언하는 것이다. 방법론/접근: 이를 위해 청소년시설에서 근무하는 청소년지도자와 청소년관련학을 전공하고 있는 예비청소년지도자 300명에게 고교학점제 도입에 대한 청소년활동의 중요도와 실행도를 확인하였다. 수집된 자료는 IPA기법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 결과/결론: 첫째, 청소년활동현장이 고교학점제를 성공적으로 도입하기 위해 “전문지도자를 활용”하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 다음으로는 “다양한 활동개설”, “온라인 공동교육과정 운영”, “효율적 활동환경구축”, “타 기관 연계형 공동교육과정 운영” 등을 중요하게 인식하고 있었다. 둘째, 고교학점제 도입을 위해 청소년활동현장에서 실행하고 있는 것은 “전문지도자 활용”이라는 응답이 가장 많았고, “진로활동 내실화”, “청소년활동 중심으로 수업 개선”, “효율적 활동환경 구축”, “온라인 공동교육과정운영” 등으로 나타났다. 셋째, IPA분석결과를 살펴보면, 중요도가 높지만 실행이 이루어지지 않은 중점개선 영역에는 “다양한 활동개설”, “타 기관 연계형 공동교육과정 운영”이 포함되었다. 고교학점제를 위해 중요한 요소이면서 청소년활동현장에서 충분히 실행되고 있는 유지강화영역에는 “다양한 활동개설”, “온라인 공동교육과정 운영”, “지역 기관 및 단체를 활용한 수업 운영”, “전문지도자 활용”, “효율적 활동환경 구축”이 있었다. 중요도와 실행도가 모두 낮은 점진개선영역에는 “희망 활동 수요에 대한 사전 조사”, “과정중심평가 활성화”가 포함되었다. 중요도는 낮지만 실행도가 높은 지속유지 영역에는 “개설 활동에 대해 청소년이 직접 신청”, “청소년활동 중심으로의 수업 개선”이 있었다. Purpose: We propose a promotion plan for the successful introduction of the high school credit system by exploring youth activities. Methodology: To this end, the importance and performance of the high school credit system were confirmed to 300 youth leaders and prospective youth leaders majoring in youth-related studies. The collected data were analyzed by applying the IPA technique. Findings: First, it is most important to use professional youth workers to successfully prepare for the introduction of the high school credit system in the youth activity field. Next, various activities, online joint curriculum operation, efficient activity environment establishment, and joint curriculum operation linked to other institutions were considered important. Second, most of the respondents said that what is being implemented in the youth activity field to introduce the high school credit system is the use of professional leaders. In addition, it was found that career activities were internalized, classes were improved, efficient activity environment was established, and online joint curriculum was operated, focusing on youth activities. Third, looking at the IPA analysis results, opening various activities and operating other institutions-linked joint curriculum were included in the areas of key improvement that were important but not implemented. Areas of maintenance and reinforcement, which are important factors for the high school credit system and are fully implemented in youth activities, included opening various activities, operating classes using local institutions and organizations, using professional youth workers, and building an efficient activity environment. The areas of gradual improvement, where both importance and performance are low, included preliminary investigation on the demand for desired activities and activation of process-oriented evaluation. In the areas of maintenance, which are low in importance but high in performance, there were Youth directly apply for opening activities and Improvement of classes centered on youth activities.

전영욱 ( Jeon Young Uk ),손규태 ( Sohn Kyu Tae ),이미나 ( Lee Mi Na ),이지은 ( Lee Ji Eun ),정은정 ( Jeong Eun Jung ),조유담 ( Cho Yoo Dam ),최선미 ( Choi Sun Mi ) 한국청소년활동학회 2021 한국청소년활동연구 Vol.7 No.1

배경: 코로나19 상황에서 청소년 기관과 시설은 청소년의 감염 예방과 선제적 대응을 요구받았다. 청소년지도자 사이에서는 기존의 대면 중심의 활동과 참여가 제한됨에 따라 청소년 활동방식이 변화되어야 한다는 인식이 확산되었으며, 청소년 기관의 여건에 따라 다양한 대응방안이 모색되었다. 환경변화로 인한 조직의 변화는 조직구성원의 생각과 행동변화에 영향을 미친다. 환경변화에 효과적으로 적응하고 도전과제를 대응하기 위해서는 조직구성원의 경험뿐만 아니라 요구되는 역량을 규명하고 개발하려는 노력이 필요하다. 목적: 이 연구에서는 코로나19 상황에서 청소년지도자들의 경험과 요구되는 역량을 탐구하고자 한다. 방법론/접근: 코로나19 상황을 경험한 8명의 청소년지도자를 연구참여자로 선정하였다. 자료수집은 2020년 11월 26일부터 12월 11일까지 인터뷰를 통해 이루어졌다. 결과/결론: 첫째, 코로나19로 인한 어려움은 청소년지도자들이 익숙하지 않은 비대면 활동을 개발하고 운영해야 하는 요구에서부터 비롯된 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년 활동이 비대면으로 전환됨에 따라 프로그램 접근성이 높아지고, 프로그램에 집중할 수 있는 분위기가 조성될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 온라인 환경에서 청소년 활동프로그램을 효과적으로 전달하기 위해서, 청소년지도자들은 비대면 청소년 활동 컨텐츠를 개발하는 역량을 함양할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 코로나19 이후 새롭게 요구되는 청소년 활동을 실행할 수 있는 효과적인 지침과 정책적 지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 시사점: 청소년지도자 재교육 프로그램 개발 및 실행, 청소년지도사 자격검정을 위한 이수 교과목에 비대면 활동영역 추가, 청소년 기관의 변화 관리 및 청소년 현장을 종합적으로 이해할 수 있는 연구 수행이 필요하였다. 그리고 청소년지도자의 디지털 역량에 관한 연구, 비대면 환경에서 청소년 프로그램의 효과성을 제고할 수 있는 방안에 관한 연구가 필요하였다. Background: Under COVID-19, youth institutions and facilities were required to prevent infections and preemptive responses to youth. Among youth workers, the perception that youth activities should be changed as existing face-to-face activities and participation is limited, and various countermeasures have been sought according to the conditions of youth institutions. Organizational changes caused by environmental changes affect the thinking and behavior of members of the organization. To effectively adapt to environmental changes and respond to challenges, efforts to identify and develop not only the experience of the members of the organization but also their competencies are required. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and required competencies of youth workers under COVID-19. Methodology/Approach: Eight youth workers who experienced the COVID-19 situation were selected as participants in the study. Data collection was conducted through interviews from November 26 to December 11, 2020. Findings/Conclusions: First, it was found that the difficulties caused by COVID-19 stem from the demand for youth workers to develop and operate unfamiliar non-face-to-face activities. Second, it was found that as youth activities proceeded non-face-to-face, access to programs could increase and an environment in which students can concentrate on programs could be created. Third, to effectively deliver youth activity programs in an online environment, youth workers need to cultivate the ability to develop non-face-to-face youth instructional content. Fourth, it was found that effective guidelines and policy support to implement youth activities newly required after COVID-19 are needed. Implications: It was necessary to develop and implement a re-education program for youth workers, add a non-face-to-face activity area to the subject for youth instructor qualification examination, manage changes in youth institutions, and conduct research to comprehensively understand the youth field. Also, a study on the digital competencies of youth leaders and a method to improve the effectiveness of youth programs in non-face-to-face environments were needed.

지역단위 청소년 인적자원 육성 방안

송병국(Song, Byeong-kug) 순천향대학교 인문학연구소 2007 순천향 인문과학논총 Vol.20 No.-

Nowadays, human resource development(HRD) is a hot issue and core factor for national, organizational, and individual development. Our government and some academic societies have tried to actively find out the strategy how to manage HRD. There are two points being missed in the process of debate related to HRD. One is the NHRD oriented without regional perspective, the other is except youth as important target groups. So, this study is to emphasize the importance of youth resource development to hold national competition and to suggest the solutions how to develope the youth resource at the regional level. To accomplish these purposes, national youth policy except school education policy was critically analyzed according to historical steps since 1991 when [the youth basic law] was proclaimed. And then, directions for the 4th National Youth Basic Plan to be executed during the following 5 years were suggested. 4 strategies such as regionalizing, governance, professionalizing, and partnership were proposed for the development of youth resource at the regional level. Also, this article suggested the concrete seven tasks which should be driven for strengthening the youth's competency at the regional level; the program for strengthening the occupational basic competency, creation of linkage project between school education and youth activity, strengthening school roles as the regional center preparing the '5 days class system', job experience program for youths, vocational training program for the disadvantaged, organization of support team for helping youths enter professional jobs. constructing administration organization and staffs for only youth resource development.

청소년관계법령의 발전 과정과 성과, 그리고 과제

길은배 미래를 여는 청소년학회 2017 미래청소년학회지 Vol.14 No.1

The purpose of this study is to classify the development process of the Youth Relations Act according by time and examine the enactment purpose, significance, main contents and performance of each Act. The reason that we should examine the youth policy history based on the Youth Relations Act is that when examining the development process of youth policy in the meantime, youth policy was developed through the enactment and maintenance of the Youth Relations Act. The research method was based on literature analysis. Historical and technical viewpoints which are traditional research methods for studying social science were applied as the analysis framework of the study. Thus, this study classified the development process of the Youth Relations Act into 4 periods of pre-history(after liberation∼1986), formation period(1987∼1990), growth period(1991∼2003), transition period(2004∼present). The major achievements are as follows: First, youth policies differentiated from children policies were born through the enactment and amendment of the Youth Relations Act. Second, the policy subjects were extended from the special class to the general youth. Third, it affected the self awareness of youth of being a full social member with rights and responsibilities. Future challenges include the maintenance of the Youth Relations Act through accurate determination of the change in the future society, the enactment of the Youth Relations Act, which takes into consideration the youth life world in the digital age, and the preparation of various laws and ordinances for the case that the right to vote is lowered to 18 years old. 이 연구의 목적은 청소년관계법령의 발전 과정을 시기별로 분류하여 각 법령의 제정 취지, 의의 그리고 주요 내용과 성과를 살펴보는 것에 있다. 이처럼 청소년관계법령을 중심으로 청소년정책사를 고찰해야 하는 이유는 그동안의 청소년정책 발전 과정을 살펴볼 때 청소년관계법령의 제정과 정비를 통하여 청소년정책이 발전하는 특성을 보였기 때문이다. 연구방법은 문헌분석을 주로 하였으며, 연구의 분석틀로는 사회과학을 연구하는 전통적 연구방법인 역사적․기술적 관점을 적용하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 청소년관계법령의 발전 과정을 前史(해방이후∼1986), 형성기(1987∼1990), 성장기(1991∼2003), 전환기(2004∼현재) 등 4기로 분류하였다. 주요 성과로는 첫째, 청소년관계법령의 제정과 개정을 통하여 아동과 차별화된 청소년정책이 탄생하였다. 둘째, 정책적 대상 또한 특수계층에서 일반청소년으로 확대되었다. 셋째, 청소년 자신이 권리와 책임을 갖는 온전한 사회적 구성원임을 자각하는 것에 영향을 주었다. 향후 과제로는 미래사회의 변화 정향을 정확히 판단한 청소년관계법령 정비, 온라인 중심의 청소년 생활세계를 고려한 청소년관계법령의 제정, 그리고 선거권을 18세로 하향 조정할 경우를 대비한 각종 법령의 정비 작업 준비 등을 제시하였다.
