Policy and Research
The Ministry of Youth Development’s policy team keeps the Minister of Youth Affairs and government agencies informed about key issues that affect young people.Our policy work involves commenting on policy, legislation and service development from a youth perspective. We provide the Minister of Youth Affairs, agencies and the youth development sector with regular assessments of youth-related issues.
Policy advice
Our policy role includes providing young people with a central point of contact within government and a channel for them to express their views on topics of interest.
Research
We monitor youth-related research and help draw attention to new findings that emerge from the research. From time to time, we commission research projects of our own.
