In the largest parliamentary election in Fengshan District, 10 people are vying for 8 seats. Blue and green candidates put forward youth politics to compete for votes. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Deng Qiaopei proposed three political opinions to support youth. The first priority is to reduce the cost of entering the workplace. Certificates, technical certifications, and vocational courses for those who have just entered the society are all an expense. We will strive to provide support for employment-related professional licenses, technical certifications, and training, so that young people can invest in their own professions without being limited by costs. We will also provide labor consultation and legal assistance to help young people deal with workplace problems.

Deng Qiaopei also proposed a youth savings support mechanism. The most important thing after getting a job is to manage income. It will combine financial education, savings concepts and fraud prevention knowledge to help young people learn financial management and saving habits, accumulate their first assets, so that the age of 20 is not just a legal adult, but also from learning skills, starting a job to making the first pot of gold, and having the confidence to take the first step.

Liu Delin, a member of the Kuomintang Party, said that young people value buying a house, starting a family, getting married and having children, but they are faced with the dilemma of rising housing prices and high prices. He proposed the political idea of ​​"giving children a house for free and living in social housing for free". He believes that Kaohsiung has the largest number of newly added social housing in Taiwan in recent years. The city government should take advantage of its leading position in the country to promote housing for children and free living in social housing to reduce the burden on young people and make them willing to have children and start a family smoothly.

In addition, KMT MP Li Yajing launched a number of parent-child activities, including water gun battles, painting competitions, basketball tournaments, etc. DPP MP Lin Zhihong held a small boss market and a moonlight cinema, and parliamentary candidate Su Zhirong held a pool bubble party, etc., to close the distance between parents and children and capture the votes of the youth group.
