    Best Korea women urge Kim to have more food.

    If I remember correctly, N. Korea always starts saber rattling when it wants to renegotiate an increase on food imports.

    In North Korea, the best thing a mother can do for her children is not to have them.

      Kinda doubt it.

      Unlike everyone else, this really is the only possible way they can resolve a demographics problem. Nobody moves there (US solution), no distant holdings to take advantage of (Russian solution), no rich economy to pay for services (Japanese/S. Korean solution)…

      It’s literally get busy ladies or N Korea is even more fucked tomorrow than it is today.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has urged women in the country to have more children, state-run news agency KCNA reported on Monday.

    North Korea is heavily reliant on physical labor to keep its economy afloat amid isolated trade ties with the West due to sanctions.

    The country is believed to have seen a decrease in fertility in the 1990s due to famine, with the South Korean Hyundai Research Institute in August saying the low birth rates could ultimately hamper the North’s manufacturing sector.

    Poor labor market conditions for young people, lack of affordable housing in big cities like Seoul and long working hours are among the reasons for the low fertility rate.

    South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol earlier this year labeled the country’s low birthrate problem a “crucial national agenda.”

    South Korea in recent years has paid families with newborns a monthly allowance, but it’s unclear if this policy will have any long term impact on national fertility.
