1. Prof. Hee Min from the Department of Political Science and Diplomacy at PNU led the research project
'Building Busan city's Youth Policy Basic Plan,' which outlined tasks for the 2nd Busan Youth Policy Basic Plan (2024-2028).
The final report, co-authored with Prof. Won-ik Lee at PNU, examined the causes of youth debt and emphasized
the expansion of youth asset formation programs by Busan City and the importance of preparatory education on debt.
2. Labor Economics is essential for understanding the labor market and wage gaps, aiding in stable employment and poverty
alleviation. Prof. Kim Gi-seung from the Department of Economics at PNU was the president of the Korean Labor
Economics Association in 2023, focusing on research and policy in labor economics.
He advocated for re-employment support for older adults, pension reform, and revitalizing retirement pensions
in response to Korea's aging population, which has increased unemployment and social isolation among the elderly.
3. PNU was involved in the '2023 Lee Jong-wook Fellowship Program Clinical Course,' a training initiative for foreign
medical personnel by the Korea International Health Foundation (KOFIH) aimed at strengthening health capacities in
developing countries. Additionally, Yangsan PNU Hospital signed a MOU with Jimma University in Ethiopia for academic
exchanges, joint research, healthcare personnel training, and patient consultations under this program.
