This article examines the diverse efforts made to improve the capacity of North Korean workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) in order to draw out implications for the development and operation of special economic zones in North Korea. While the autonomy of North Korean workers is still limited, they were nonetheless able to bring about improvements in production through knowledge sharing with South Korean companies. North Korea realizes the importance of strengthening its human resources and legal capacities for the successful operation of special economic zones. North Korea has also displayed an interest and the will to learn about specific fields including legalsystems, finances, and insurance. Having passed down new knowledge and experience about market economics to North Korean society, the Kaesong Industrial Complex can advance reforms and opening in the country.
