North Koreans leaving the country all face unique and significant economic, political, cultural and societal differences which are barriers to them building new lives in each of these new countries. There are many barriers to overcome for North Koreans to integrate and improve their circumstances. The cultification of the Kim regime is so central to North Korea life that educational qualifications are geared towards serving the leadership rather than empowering North Korean people.
