According to reports in Russian media, changes are being observed in the composition of citizens arriving from North Korea (DPRK) for work. While previously the majority of migrants from this country were men, women are now also arriving in Russia as part of organized groups to engage in labor activities.
According to the information, DPRK citizens work based on contracts concluded with Russian companies. Upon the expiration of the contract, they return to their homeland, although there is an option to sign a new contract if desired. This process is carried out within the framework of specially organized groups.
While DPRK citizens previously worked mainly in forestry and industrial enterprises, women are now employed in agriculture, catering, and the garment industry. The work groups also include foremen, interpreters, doctors, and cooks.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had previously noted the country's need for a new workforce. At the same time, Russian officials stated that special attention is being paid to monitoring compliance with the rules of stay in the country by foreign citizens.
