Key Points

This research aims to identify factors influencing early termination in youth asset-building support programs and to provide empirical evidence for improving retention.
Conducted survival analysis with 4,016 participants from the Gyeonggi Youth Workers' Savings Account program.
Utilized Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to assess dropout risks over time.
Applied Cox proportional hazards model to identify predictive factors for different types of dropout.
Kaplan-Meier analysis showed distinct dropout risk patterns: short-term immediate risk for general dropout and long-term accumulated risk for special dropout.
Cox proportional hazards model indicated significant predictors for special dropout included work type, personal debt default experience, and depression, while few predictors were found for general dropout.
Psychological and attitude variables like financial capability and financial stress showed limited significance, suggesting that structural and economic changes during participation have a stronger impact.

Survival analysis identifies factors influencing dropout in youth asset-building programs, suggesting intervention strategies.
