To this end, it has been briefly summarized focusing on understanding the category of ‘youth’, the concept and goal of ‘youth counseling’, and changes in the system and content. As a result, it was confirmed that the category of ‘youth’ is changing according to the times and social perspectives. Either the concept and goal of youth counseling have also changed constantly in line with this.
