Over the past five years the DPRK has enacted, amended or supplemented many laws, most of them geared to improving people’s welfare and living standards.
A typical example is the Law of the DPRK on Childcare adopted in February 2022.
According to the law, the state shall regularly provide all the children across the country with nutritious foods including dairy products at its expense. The law specifies in detail the issues related to nursing and upbringing of children, ranging from ensuring the quality of raw materials for milk powder production and standardizing milk products to providing nurseries and kindergartens with furnishings and drinking water. The regular supply of dairy products to children at state expense is not an easy task, but surprisingly enough, this undertaking is legally guaranteed in this country.
Reportedly, the country has recently built goat and dairy cow farms or expanded their capacity, with the result that the output of raw milk has increased more than 1.4 times in the past few years. With the level of milk processing steadily improving, tasty and nutritious dairy products are supplied every day to all the children throughout the country.
Another example is the Law of the DPRK on House Maintenance adopted in October 2023.
According to the law, dwelling houses shall be preferentially allocated to war veterans, discharged officers, teachers, scientists, meritorious persons, and families with several children including those with triplets, while working people in labour-consuming sectors such as coal and ore miners, smelters and pelagic fishermen shall be provided with houses with ample conditions for rest. And the families displaced by natural disasters or state measures shall be compulsorily given houses.
More surprising and unbelievable is that all the houses are allocated free of charge. In fact, modern dwelling houses for over 100 000 households have been built for the past five years in the capital city of Pyongyang and rural communities in different parts of the country to be given to the working people for nothing.
Among other newly-enacted, amended or supplemented laws are the law on social insurance and social security, the law on providing discharged officers with proper living conditions, the law on medical service, and the law on the provision of cement to cities and counties for their construction. These laws enable the Korean people to be provided with environment and conditions for a stable and happy life. This is what’s now happening in the DPRK.
