thousands of the nation’s “mothers” and pleading with them to have more

“Preventing a decline in birth rates and good childcare are
all of our housekeeping duties we need to handle while working with mothers,”
stated Kim Jong-un, addressing the women as “Dear Mothers.”
“These tasks include bringing up their children so that they
will steadfastly carry forward our revolution, eliminating the
recently-increasing non-socialist practices, promoting family harmony and
social unity, establishing a sound way of cultural and moral life, making the
communist virtues and traits of helping and leading one another forward prevail
over our society, stopping the declining birth rate, and taking good care of
children and educating them effectively,” said Kim Jong-un.
“These belong to our common family affairs, which we need to
deal with by joining hands with our mothers,” he added.
North Korea’s
declining birth rate
The United Nations Population Fund estimates that North
Korea’s average fertility rate, or the average number of children born, was 1.8
in 2023. This is despite the fact that the birth rate has been declining over
the past few decades.
Certain North Korean neighborhoods have seen relatively greater fertility rates than others that have been seeing a similar declining trend.
