Gumi plans response to youth gambling after survey finds 43.4% have gambled
Gumi said it would develop an integrated response to youth gambling after a survey of 288 children and young adults in North Gyeongsang found that 125 had gambled. The city said respondents first tried gambling at an average age of 12 years and 9 months and that officials and local organisations discussed prevention and early intervention.
The city’s planned response could affect local prevention and treatment measures for young people exposed to gambling.
