Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand the realities and challenges of young carers based on a survey of the attitudes of the Committee on Social Welfare, and to analyze the potential for initiatives to resolve these issues from the perspective of urban policy. Exploratory factor analysis was applied, and three factors were extracted in relation to the evaluation of each initiative to support young carers. Multiple regression analysis was conducted with the results of the evaluation of overall efforts for young carers as the objective variable and the factor scores of the three factors extracted in the factor analysis as explanatory variables. The results of the analysis indicated that “opportunities/places for consultation and exchange” had the greatest impact on the evaluation of comprehensive efforts toward young carers.
