Therefore, it is necessary to revise these regulations so that later they will be better and can accommodate changes that occur and eliminate existing problems. Given the very importance of determining the Youth Corps, it is necessary for a policy design to determine the Corps by considering various criteria and accommodating policies that do not yet exist so that the new regulations will be better.
