"According to an article published in South Korea – tellingly the Russian media was silent about this – IMEMO expects North Korea to collapse in the late 2020s (The Korea Times November 4, 2011). It expects a reunification process to begin in the late 2020s, and speculated about a leadership upheaval due to deepening clashes between the military and the government. IMEMO further predicted that South Korea would continue its development and progress toward being a major economic powerhouse, while the North will essentially fall apart due to the lack of elite cohesion under the new regime (Korea Times, November 4, 2011). It is noteworthy that their prognosis does not reflect the government’s policy and that there was virtually total media silence about it in Moscow."

Little is known about North Korea’s economy as official statistics are scant. But North Korea cannot be ignored, especially when it comes to the size of its army. This column suggests that the true number is hidden between the lines of the census. It provides an estimate based on missing population, that is, the difference between the whole population and the number of registered citizens.
