Should governments limit access to credit to prevent debt problems among young people?

The Korean government announced that it is considering allowing a teenager under 18 to issue a credit card in their name. This announcement sparked controversy among the public because allowing credit cards would lead to debt problems among young people, which I agree with. First, credit card interest rates are high. Since young individuals are in precarious financial situations, credit cards would exacerbate their financial conditions. Limiting credit can prevent young people from falling into a vicious cycle. Alongside this, credit is crucial for young people in their daily lives. Many companies investigate credit ratings as a barometer for financial solidity. However, missing a single credit card payment would result in a drastic decrease in credit ratings. Since credit cards can lead to relentless spending, there is a high risk that first-time users can miss a payment. Accordingly, credit card use must be prevented to ensure the long-term financial health of the young generation.
