The youth-check helps to raise awareness of young people’s concerns during the legislative process. It is a regulatory impact assessment tool to analyse the impact of federal legislation on young people aged between 12 and 27 years In order to raise awareness of the concerns of young people at an early stage in the legislative process, the youth-check is applied to proposed legislation during the draft bill stage. The youth-check is carried out by the Competence Centre Youth-Check (ComYC). The ComYC is an independent unit with a unique expertise in youth-specific regulatory impact assessment in Germany. It is the only scientific institution in Germany that carries out an accompanying regulatory impact assessment (ex-ante assessment) for all federal government bills.
