North Korea had a very high living standard, higher than the south until the 1980s. However since the economic collapse, unprecedented natural disasters, mismanagement, and famine in the 1990s and early 21st century North Korea's living standard has dwindled from its one high position to 99th in the world equivalent to that of Jamaica.
The standard of living in North Korea is generally low, with limited access to basic necessities such as food, healthcare, and electricity for many citizens. The country also faces economic challenges such as sanctions, which have further strained living conditions for the population. The government controls much of the economy and daily life, leading to a lack of personal freedoms and choices for its people.
