The North Korean government seems to perceive its population as too small in relation to that of South Korea.
In its public pronouncements, P ' yongyang has called for accelerated population growth and encouraged large families.
According to one Korean American scholar who visited North Korea in the early 1980s, the country has no birth control policies ; parents are encouraged to have as many as six children.
The state provides t ' agaso ( nurseries ) in order to lessen the burden of childrearing for parents and offers a seventy-seven-day paid leave after childbirth.
Eberstadt and Banister suggest, however, that authorities at the local level make contraceptive information readily available to parents and that intrauterine devices are the most commonly adopted birth control method.
