SEOUL, Oct. 31 (Yonhap) — North Korea’s population stands at 24.9 million, the 49th-largest in the world, a report by a United Nations fund showed Thursday.
According to “State of World Population 2013” published by the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), the North Korean population is expected to grow 0.5 percent in the 2010-15 period.
It said that boys born during this five-year period could expect to live an average of 66 years, while the female life expectancy was estimated at 73 years.
The latest findings also said a woman in the communist country is likely to give birth to two children, smaller than the overall average of 2.5 kids for the 202 countries checked.
