The government entity responsible for youth remained unclear following the elections in June 1992. At that time, family issues became the responsibility of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, which was renamed the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Family, while the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport became the Ministry of Education and Science. The former secretary of the latter ministry reportedly stated to representatives of the Youth Council of Slovakia that youth do not represent a specific social group and, therefore, no special policy toward youth was needed. The lack of clear-cut responsibility for youth has led NGO representatives of the NGOs to lobby for the passage of the Youth Act.
