| Summary / Abstract (Note) | While North Korea had gradually reformed its troubled economy since the early 1990s, these measures were different from market-oriented reform. However, on July 1, 2002, North Korea introduced the most significant liberalization measures-at that time called the "July 1 measures"-since the start of communist rule in 1948. The purpose of this study is to grasp the current state of the North Korean economy caused by the "July 1 measures" in 2002 through interviews with North Korean refugees, whose numbers have recently increased dramatically. This paper is organized as follows: (1) research purpose and summary, (2) research results, and (3) research implications and limitations. |
