Directly under the party Central Committee, it is the only mass organization expressly mentioned in the charter of the Workers' Party of Korea. The organization, modeled after the Komsomol in the former Soviet Union, includes all North Koreans without party membership between the ages of 15 and 30, although married women who opt to become housewives are transferred to the Socialist Women's Union. Youth under 15 may join the Korean Children's Union. Officially, the guiding ideology of the organization is Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism.
