在朝鮮,女性掙錢更多

Women in the DPRK earn more than 70% of household income, mainly as traders in the informal markets that have proliferated in recent years, research by the Korea Institute for National Unification found. That is despite women making up only about half of the 12m residents in the country.

韓國統一研究所研究發現，雖然女性只佔朝鮮1200萬人口的一半，但朝鮮女性收入佔家庭總收入的70%以上。她們主要在近年激增的非正式市場裏進行貿易活動。

Most men are stuck in state jobs that pay little or serve in the army.

大多數男人在從事薪酬較少的政府工作或在軍隊服役。

With state rations a distant memory, residents have increasingly turned to the informal economy to support their families.

由於國家補給早已不復存在，越來越多的朝鮮人轉向非正式經濟來養家。
