'JOBLESS GROWTH' is a word to explain the world's common problem of unemployment. But, 'highly educated youth unemployment' is the unique condition that Korea society is facing. In this paper, we determine the cause of the problem with causal loop diagram and reach the conclusion. It is the paradigm to be highly educated person and that paradigm became permanent after the Korean War. People think that only highly educated person can bring wealth and honor, so they spend much money for their children's private education to enter university. Though young people receive bachelor's degree, they spend much money to get job. To solve these problems, this paper suggest three solutions. The first is to shift the paradigm to be highly educated person. The second is to expand the opportunities of public education as education system of Finland. And the third is to support the youth aptitude.

This study intended to establish a direction for the revitalization of youth culture centers by examining the current status of youth centers operated in Daejeon and how they have been used. Four youth centers in Daejeon were visited and a survey was conducted targeting 180 people using the centers. Frequency, Mean, and ${\chi}^2$ analysis were performed by using SPSS statistics package, and major research outcomes are as follows; There were 6 youth culture centers in Daejeon and showed a lower construction rate of 7.4% on the basis of 81 up, myun and dong. Most youth centers were small, around $300-500m^2$ in total floor area, and accommodated 100-200 people, and the space comprised multipurpose hall, cafeteria, open space, club space, multimedia space, information service room, and guide booth. There were no sports spaces among the target facilities. So, it has created the need for physical activity space to promote health & development. Most users visited centers with their friends and simply to use the facilities, and the satisfaction with the facilities was relatively high at 4.32. The role of the local community and financial support of the government is required to activate the youth culture. Also, for the role of youth culture center, it was suggested that the youth culture center should develop program which corresponds with the level of the youth and boast the interest of the youth.

Since the global financial crisis, the employment rate of young people worldwide has been declining, and the situation in Korea has worsened. Recently, the employment rate has been restored to a small extent due to the implementation of various government policies on youth employment and entrepreneurship, and many young entrepreneurs have been produced. In addition, various types of youth farming enterprises are emerging as the system for encouraging home farmers and villagers and fostering young farmers has been expanded. In this regard, this study examines the influence of CEO's personal characteristics and government's support policies on corporate performance in starting and managing youth rural enterprises. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect on the performance of rural enterprises. Through this study, it will be able to know what are the important factors for young people to achieve results in starting a rural enterprise. The results of this study suggest three implications. The first is that the personal characteristics of the CEO are important for the performance of youth start-up rural enterprises. Second, in support policy, educational support affects performance, but funding policy does not have a significant effect. Third, since ICT's environmental characteristics do not affect the CEO's personal characteristics and support policies and corporate performance, it is more important to find ways to utilize them directly in the field than to develop ICT's environmental characteristics.

The present study is designed to trace the successful reform steps taken within the employment support system in the UK and to extract a set of instructive implications for Korea's future reform path towards an efficient employment support system conductive to youth employment by setting out an analytical framework that links the British experience to the Korean context. To this end, this study focuses on three major aspects of employment support system: delivery mechanism, method of delivery, and programs. Implications drawn from the comparative analysis are as follows. First, the current employment support services in Korea-including job placement service, vocational training, and public works-should be more tightly integrated and delivered in a more consistent fashion in order to become highly accessible to the unemployed. Second, the cooperative network between employment service providers and the corporate sector as demander of labor should be institutionalized in order to make the employment support system more responsive to labor demand. Third, to create an enhanced employment support system that counts in individual differences of the unemployed would require continued, in-depth consultation and case management services along with fully specialized employment caseworkers who would provide them. Fourth, the government should take the initiative and be unflaggingly supportive both institutionally and financially in making future efforts to continuously improve the employment support system on the basis of the implications mentioned above.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the most critical variables in the school adjustment of youth. In addition, this research assessed the impact of variables according to the categorization of individual, family, and school domains. To acquire the effect sizes, published studies between 1990 and 2012 were reviewed systematically and synthesized by meta-analysis. The major findings were as follows. First, this study identified a total of 34 variables which can have an influence on the school adjustment of youth and confirmed that 24 of those variables are significant. The most crucial variable that can influence school adjustment is that of a teacher's support. The next most important variables are self-resilience, relationships with friends, and self-efficiency. Focusing on the categorized elements, self-resilience is the most critical variable in the individual domain, the parent-child relation is the most crucial variable in the family domain, and a teacher's support is the most powerful variable in the school domain. Based on these results, this study suggested a number of the indispensable components in interventions to improve the youth's adjustment in school.

This study developed models using decision forest, support vector machine, and logistic regression methods to predict and prevent suicidal ideation among Korean adolescents. The study sample consisted of 51,407 individuals after removing missing data from the raw data of the 18th (2022) Youth Health Behavior Survey conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Analysis was performed using the MS Azure program with Two-Class Decision Forest, Two-Class Support Vector Machine, and Two-Class Logistic Regression. The results of the study showed that the decision forest model achieved an accuracy of 84.8% and an F1-score of 36.7%. The support vector machine model achieved an accuracy of 86.3% and an F1-score of 24.5%. The logistic regression model achieved an accuracy of 87.2% and an F1-score of 40.1%. Applying the logistic regression model with SMOTE to address data imbalance resulted in an accuracy of 81.7% and an F1-score of 57.7%. Although the accuracy slightly decreased, the recall, precision, and F1-score improved, demonstrating excellent performance. These findings have significant implications for the development of prediction models for suicidal ideation among Korean adolescents and can contribute to the prevention and improvement of youth suicide.

This study analyzed the mediating effects of self-esteem and peer relationship in the effects between physical satisfaction and academic adaptation of multicultural youth. The subjects of the study were 1,064 first-year high school students at the time of the survey using the 8th Multicultural Youth Panel (MAPS) data. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, correlations, and path analysis of measurement variables were carried out using SPSS 25.0. According to the analysis, first, multicultural youth's body satisfaction has a positive effect on academic adaptation, and second, self-esteem is completely mediated in the relationship between body satisfaction and academic adaptation. Third, the relationship between multicultural youth's body satisfaction and academic adaptation has been partially mediated. The results will be used to develop basic data and programs to support healthy growth of multicultural youth. These results can be used to develop basic data and programs to devise support measures for healthy growth of multicultural youth.
