Ms. Park Yeji (Republic of Korea), speaking as a youth delegate, said thatefforts to define the post-2015 development agenda could not neglect the socialdimension of sustainable development. Strategic and concrete action was requiredto eliminate poverty and discrimination and achieve full and decent employment.The role of empowerment in bolstering the social drivers of sustainable developmenthad been evidenced by the successful rebuilding of the Republic of Korea followingthe Korean war, an effort achieved primarily through the country’s investment inits own people. Much progress still needed to be made, both domestically andinternationally, in the area of social inclusion, particularly in the face of unequalglobal wealth distribution. It was therefore crucial to promote not only equalopportunities, but also equal outcomes, and to expand the notion and scope ofeducation to include the teaching of global citizenship values including human rights,rule of law and democracy.40. The Republic of Korea had been using its position at the forefront of theinformation technology revolution to promote global efforts for social inclusionthrough information technology education programmes for persons with disabilities,older persons and immigrant families in order to narrow the digital [*8*] divide,expand social participation and promote economic independence. It had providedinformation technology training courses in over 50 developing countries. Awareof the debt owed to the international community for its instrumental role in theircountry’s dramatic post-war rebirth, Korean youth were committed to participating inthe efforts to create an inclusive and sustainable world.- 1 -
