주요내용 Homework is a source of stress for children and parents alike around the world. In North Korea, however, school tasks can be much more strenuous and far less educational. In addition to being mobilized for tasks like garbage hauling and farm work, children are often told to bring in large quantities of specific items, such as scrap metal, manure for fertilizer or rabbit pelts. Other times, teachers require parents to contribute cash for supplies like firewood or computers. However, these “social tasks” (과제, kwaje)” are part of a larger exploitative and opaque system of taxation referred to as “non-tax burdens” that will follow North Korean children into adulthood and the rest of their lives.
