North Korea's economy is in a dire state. Analysts estimate per capita income is $1,000-$2,000 (Â£640-Â£1,280) per year. Compare that with South Korea, where per capita income is almost $20,000. That means that even at the higher end of the range, North Koreans make just 10% of what their average southern counterparts make. One estimate says it works out to about $4 a day. However, information coming out of North Korea is very unreliable and so the numbers could be much worse.
The North Korean workersâ average wage amounted to $141.4 per month in 2014, according to the ministryâs data. Under Pyongyangâs plan, South Korean firms will have to pay $164 on average for a North Korean worker a month, up 5.53 percent from the current $155, said the official.he number of North Koreans going to China to find work rose an average 20 percent annually in the last three years, reaching a record 93,000 in 2013, a report by a local international traders association said Tuesday.
