The youth problem is a crucial one related to the future, prosperity and decline of the country.
It is inevitable that the change of generation will take place in any country, and the struggle of the people to build a powerful and rich state will be waged through generations.
It is very important to prepare and place young people in the vanguard to turn out in the struggle to achieve the development and prosperity of the state through their sincere efforts and inherit the tradition and carry forward the cause, conscious of the mission they have assumed before the country and the people.
The youth problem is one that most countries in the world are interested in, but many countries have not solved it, causing many social difficulties and not being sure of the future.
It is the greatest pride and strength of the DPRK that the youth problem has been completely solved and the young people are playing a key role in carrying out the crucial tasks for the country's prosperity and development and opening up the rosy future of the state while creating their beautiful future.
The respected Comrade
"When we look around the world, many countries are experiencing difficulties with the youth problem, but in our country young people, having inherited the baton of the revolution, are growing up stoutly as the reserve of the revolutionary cause of Juche."
The DPRK is a powerful and promising country which has created a good example in solving the youth problem.
The DPRK is the country of attaching importance to youth which pays the greatest attention to training young people into pillars of the country.
To prepare young people to be pillars and masters who will reliably shoulder the future of the country is one of the core issues that govern the national power and the future of the state.
How the country realizes the grand ideal of state building depends largely on preparedness and role of the young people of every generation who are to inherit the baton of state building and play the leading role. A country that has trained young people to be pillars of the country and dependable masters of the future by educating and preparing them well is prosperous and promising. But a country where young people are ideologically ill and degenerate can neither expect prosperity nor promise the future. A country where young people are well prepared politically and ideologically and grow into patriotic youth is one which has a firm guarantee for development and prosperity, though much of what they need is in short supply and they are not well-off.
The DPRK is the only country in the world that regards prioritizing young people as the most important state affair and strategic line and pays the greatest efforts to preparing young people politically, ideologically, culturally and morally.
The DPRK has devoted all its efforts to educating and training young people into revolutionary and patriotic reserves and pillars of the country who are possessed of noble spirit and rich knowledge. Public concern and national efforts are directed to training the youth and children into reserves equipped with revolutionary idea, sound spirit, versatile knowledge, high application and practical abilities, noble moral traits, diverse cultural attainments and strong physical strength.
It is ensured that all the youth and children of the country are enrolled in the education system according to their ages to receive advanced education at the state expense and all measures are taken to fully develop their aptitudes and talents and they are educated by everything they see and hear. In the DPRK, which encourages the rising generations to receive family, school and social education from their childhood, all the young people are being trained to be patriotic young people with patriotic mind of and high creativity for making the country strong and demonstrating the dignity and might of the DPRK to the world.
It is the real might of the DPRK which is more powerful than any nuclear weapon to have reliable new generations who value the collective and the country more than themselves and grow up with a firm will and high creative ability to devote their all to the prosperity of the country.
The DPRK is also a youth power which actively involve the young people in the creation and construction works for the development and prosperity of the state and in defending the country and thus tempers them.
In order for a country to solve the youth problem, it is necessary to actively involve them in the struggle for the development of the state and society and train them in a revolutionary way. There is nothing to expect from the generation that seek unlimited freedom, dissipation and enjoyment, but the young people will ruin their destiny and the country will decay in the vortex of all sorts of crimes and social evils.
The DPRK trains a large contingent of successors in an organized and systematic way by ensuring that the younger generation who have undergone revolutionary education and edification from their childhood become the main force at socialist construction sites and posts for national defence, firmly defending the country and people and realizing their dream of prosperity by their own efforts.
The DPRK entrusts the young people who have ardent patriotism and youthful enthusiasm with worthwhile work sites for carrying out the important tasks of the state, so that they can fully demonstrate their wisdom and bravery. The state actively encourages and put forward the young people in a nationwide scale to find the worth and happiness of their youth in the factories, farms, coal mines and other difficult and challenging posts in economic construction and makes them play the role of core and shock brigade in the development of science and technology.
The young people of the DPRK are volunteering to work in difficult and challenging fields and badly-needed posts for the country, true to the firm stand of the state to attach importance to the youth and the great expectation of the people and proudly glorifying their precious youth without regret even in the distant future. It is no exaggeration to say that young people take charge of the construction of the Paektusan Hero Youth Power Station and the Jonwi Street and other grand construction projects that the state conducts for the people one after another. And almost all the scientific and technological advances and achievements in developing cutting-edge products are associated with the tireless patriotic efforts of the young people.
In particular, young people in the DPRK now compulsorily serve in the army and steadfastly defend the outposts of the country, regarding it as the most sacred and honorable duty to defend the country.
In other parts of the world, young people flock to their capital and other cities in pursuit of personal gain and pleasure. Only Korea's young people who have grown up in the embrace of the socialist motherland do not hesitate to exchange their capital residence permits for notes of dispatch to remote coal mines, farms, construction sites, islands and posts for national defence. The DPRK is so strong and has a rosy future as it has revolutionary young people who are loyal to the call of the country, sincere to society and the collective and dedicate themselves to the future, regarding the sufferings and trials as their pleasure.
The world's people admire the eye-opening change of the DPRK, but they are more envious of the fact that the powerful state political system of the DPRK is being carried forward without prejudice. This is because the DPRK has infinite development and bright prospect by completely solving the youth issue to ensure the continuation.
As it has a loyal and patriotic army of young people envied by the world, the DPRK will as ever dynamically advance toward the bright and rosy future full of confidence in victory and optimism.
