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 Society
Our research investigates the health and dynamics of civil society, with a particular focus on how youth interact with and impact these structures. We analyze the effectiveness of youth-led organizations, the support systems available to them, and their capacity to influence social change.
Role of Youths in Politics
We assess the barriers youths face in these arenas and develop strategies to enhance their political engagement and representation. Our goal is to ensure that youth are recognized as essential stakeholders and influential voices in shaping 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.
Topic 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
Analysis
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.
