Owing to the fact that ownership of telecommunication devices such as smartphones and tablets has spread among young people, the Internet has become very familiar to them. On the other hand, they face the risks of encountering various Internet problems. In this study, we analyzed and evaluated longitudinal survey data focusing on awareness education policies, in order to periodically evaluate the Internet environment for young people, in line with the Youth Internet Environment Improvement Act Supplementary Provisions Article 3.
