To verify compliance

North Korea launches multi-child family inspection campaign as officials visit homes to renew certificates

Visitation teams are checking whether families have valid certificates and if mothers are actually receiving reduced work hours and doubled vacation days promised by the regime

North Korea’s Central Committee has ordered provincial party committees to pay special attention to families with multiple children, dispatching “visitation teams” to homes to verify compliance with pro-natalist policies and renew family certificates that previously required parents to visit government offices themselves.

So backward, surely it would be much easier to verify compliance with a digital ID system. North Korea should invite Keir Starmer and his team over for a prolonged visit.
