North Korea Migration
North Korean Migration
There are several reasons why people migrate to another region. One of them is because of their economic status. A country that is greatly affected by the economic system is
North Korea. Statistically shown, Its GDP is about 40 billion dollars and the growth is only
3.9% in 2009. It is 1/30 of South Korea’s GDP which is 1164 trillion and the population of
North Korea is 24 million which more than half of South Korea’s population. North Korea’s communism is the biggest push factor for illegal emigrants.
Communism is a social system to create classless and fairness among the citizens.
The basic form of communism is equally dividing the profit of all the workers. Also it does not accept private property. This system led to poor economic status in DPRK because of three main reasons.
The basic reason is due to decline of morale of workers. As people started to notice that they received the same wage, they started to work less. The decrease of willingness or desire to work led to decline of total production negatively affected the whole community.
Another reason for the system to fail is that since DPRK did not accept private property, neither small nor medium-sized businesses were accepted. The role of small and medium-sized business is providing resource, creating middle class, equally dividing development in rural areas and bringing up variety of Ideas and technology. No small or medium-sized business would definitely devastate the economy.
The last reason is that DPRK is using a system called “Juche” which represents independency. They are reluctant to foreign trades and prefers to stand alone. Trades andexchanges are critical because every country is restricted in elements such as resources or labors etc.
The reasons above proved that the communism system is what made current North
Korea’s economic status. Since this status is applied to all North Korea citizens, the majority lives through poverty. North Koreans try

Not only was Korea’s output above what it had been before the crisis but, the IMF gleefully proclaimed, “over the past two years bold policies and a commitment to reform have made Korea a more open, competitive, and market driven economy.” Now, three years later, Korea faces an unbalanced recovery of questionable durability and a labor movement badly, perhaps fatally, wounded by neoliberalism, while the majority of its people suffer rising insecurity and…

    North Korea relied heavily on foreign aid from countries like the Japan and the United States (1207). The estimated cost of the war was between 67 billion to 164 billion dollars (Fincher 42). In the late 1900s, floods caused a famine and dropped the country’s economy (Ember 1207). Food aid had been provided but not since 2009 (“North” Central). Poverty increased and with the lack of food, crime increased (Ember 1207). During the war, production of weapons increased while the production of goods decreased (Fincher 34). In effort of reestablishing the economy, North Korea reinforced the industry by making them owned by state (Ember 1206). Around the 1950s and 1960s, Kim II Sung visited mills and factories, which had a positive effect on the nation’s pride, it made the economy recover quickly (1206). Agriculture and industry makes up most of North Korea’s economy production (1207). Major industries of North Korea include the production of iron and steel (1207).

    North Korean ideology stemmed from Confucianism, imported from China during the Yi dynasty (1392-1910). This ideology stressed the importance of collective rights—referring to the state—over individual rights. The next way of thinking that influenced North Korean human rights ideology was the concept of Juche which translates to “self-reliance.” This concept was first expressed in 1955 under the leadership of Kim Il-sung. This way of thinking emerged as the state ideology after the international hostility towards North Korea after the Cold War, particularly in regards to North Korea’s nuclear intentions. It is evident to conclude that this state ideology has evolved into the human rights thinking in North Korea in the present. The most important philosophy in North Korea is to be loyal to the state and those who are viewed as untrustworthy, such as those who fled south during the Korean war and anyone associated with these people, for example, are treated unfairly and have more occurrences of human rights abuses. In 1981, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) had signed the United Nations human rights covenants, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). In addition, the DPRK had signed the Covenant on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in 2000…

    Korea's population is one of the most largest and homogenous in the world. Virtually all Koreans share a common cultural and linguistic heritage. There is a small Chinese community (about 20,000), and there are rising rates of interracial marriage. With 48.7 million people inhabiting an area roughly the size of Indiana, South Korea has one of the world's highest population densities. Major population centers are located in the northwest, southeast, and in the plains south of the Seoul-Incheon area. Korea has experienced one of the largest rates of emigration, with ethnic Koreans residing primarily in China (2.4 million), the United States (2.1 million), Japan (600,000), and the countries of the former Soviet Union (532,000).…
