According to the Independent publication, Jong Un was at an event for mothers in Pyongyang where he called for efforts to tackle the country's falling birth rates and urged women to be open to having more than one child.
"Preventing a decline in birth rates and good childcare are all of our housekeeping duties we need to handle while working with mothers," Kim said.
He also thanked mothers for their role in strengthening national power. In his words:
"I too, always think about mothers when I have a hard time dealing with the party and the state's work."
The United Nations Population Fund estimates that as of 2023, the fertility rate, or the average number of children being born to a woman, stood at 1.8 in North Korea, amid an extended fall in the rate during recent decades.
The fertility rate remains higher than in some of North Korea's neighbours, which have been grappling with a similar downward trend.
Elsewhere, North Korea's Supreme Leader in 2021 ensured no one would copy his signature look by introducing extreme measures.
Jong Un imposed a total ban on leather coats to prevent people from emulating him in an effort to keep his style.
Police in his country roamed the streets seizing leather coats from citizens and retailers in the clampdown to protect the leader's fashion style.
