Rodongjagu

A Workers' District (Munhwaŏ: 로동자구, romanized: rodongjagu in North Korea, Pyojuneo: 노동자구, romanized: nodongjagu in South Korea) is a third-level administrative division of North Korea, meaning it lies below a city or county.

[1] Workers' Districts were first introduced with the administrative reform of December 1952.

[2] They are established in areas where there are 400 or more adult residents and where the proportion of workers exceeds 65%.

[citation needed] Typically, they are established under a county, and there are only a few worker districts that belong to a city, such as Hamhung City's Raeil Workers' District (Korean version).

[citation needed] According to reports from the Republic of Korea Statistics Office, the total number of Workers' Districts is 314 as of 2022, an increase of 16 from 2021.
