Research

At the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute, our research is dedicated to empowering youth and ​ensuring their voices are integral to political and social discourse. We focus on exploring effective ​methods to foster youth empowerment, analyzing the impact of inclusive policies, and advocating for ​the recognition of youth as vital stakeholders in decision-making processes. Our studies delve into ​the various ways young people can influence and drive change, from grassroots organizing to ​participation in international forums.


What We Research

At the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute, our research focuses on three critical areas to understand and amplify ​the role of youth in society.

State of ​Youths

We conduct comprehensive studies on the​ current conditions and challenges faced​ by young people globally. Our research​ aims to highlight the diverse experiences​ of youth, identify barriers to their​ success, and propose solutions to​ enhance their well-being and​ development.​

State of

Civil​ So​ciety

Our research investigates the health an​d dynamics of civil society, with ​a particular focus on how youth interac​t with and impact these structures. W​e analyze the effectiveness of youth-le​d organizations, the support system​s available to them, and their capacity t​o influence social change.​

Role of ​Youths i​n Politics

We assess the barriers youths face in th​ese arenas and develop strategies to en​hance their political engagement and re​presentation. Our goal is to ensure th​at youth are recognized as essential st​akeholders and influential voices in sh​aping policy and decision-making.

How We Research

At the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute, our advocacy efforts are directed towards key groups that have the ​power to influence and implement policies affecting youth.

To​pic Reports

We produce detailed reports on specific ​issues affecting youth, such as education, ​employment, mental health, and civic ​engagement. These reports are based on ​extensive data collection and analysis, ​including surveys, interviews, and case ​studies. By focusing on particular topics, ​we provide in-depth insights and ​highlight key trends and challenges ​faced by young people.

Policy ​Recommendations

Our research translates into actionable ​policy recommendations aimed at ​improving the lives of youth. We ​analyze existing policies, identify gaps, ​and propose evidence-based solutions ​that can be implemented by ​governments, educational institutions, ​and civil society organizations. Our goal ​is to influence policy-making processes ​to be more inclusive and responsive to ​the needs of young people.

Situation

A​nalysis

We conduct thorough situation analyses ​to understand the broader context in ​which youth operate. This includes ​examining socio-economic conditions, ​political environments, and cultural ​factors that impact young people's lives. ​Our situation analyses provide a holistic ​view of the challenges and opportunities ​facing youth, helping to inform our ​advocacy and programmatic efforts.
