  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that President Lee Jae Myung is considering the creation of a dedicated body to oversee youth policies. The idea was discussed during a Youth Day ceremony at the presidential office, where Lee highlighted the challenges young people face in the job market. He emphasized that current policymakers may not be able to address the crisis, citing factors such as growing polarization and industrial restructuring due to artificial intelligence. According to government data, the employment rate for individuals aged 20 to 24 stands at 41.3 percent in the second quarter, compared to the 2025 average of 43.6 percent.",
