ABSTRACT

This paper analyses structural changes in demographic, social, and economic conditions in North Korea and draws policy implications on housing supply and residential environment. Demographic and social structures in North Korea, such as population aging, low fertility rate, and increases in nuclear families, are changing, just as many developed countries have experienced. At the same time, there is a high demand for house and infrastructure redevelopment. Meanwhile, there are significant differences in household wealth, living infrastructure, and family compositions across North Korean provinces. Hence, policymakers in North Korea must take into account such regional heterogeneities when they consider the house supply and residential improvement policies.

摘要

本文分析了朝鲜人口，社会和经济状况的结构变化，并得出了对住房供应和居住环境的政策含义。正如许多发达国家所经历的那样，朝鲜的人口和社会结构正在发生变化，例如人口老龄化，低生育率和核心家庭的增加。同时，对房屋和基础设施的重建有很高的需求。同时，北朝鲜各省的家庭财富，生活基础设施和家庭组成存在显着差异。因此，朝鲜的政策制定者在考虑房屋供应和住房改善政策时必须考虑到这种地区异质性。
