The North Korea Crisis
Contracted Labor
PAGE 5
North Korea maintains labor contracts with countries through government entities and foreign firms. North Korean laborers who work under such arrangements are denied freedom of movement, and a large portion of their salaries are deposited into government accounts. There are an estimated 10,000 to 70,000 North Korean laborers worldwide, and many are subjected to harsh conditions in jobs involving construction and logging.
