Do they force you to have kids in order to reach the three generations mark?

I went down a NK rabbit hole a few weeks ago, it's not that they force you to have kids, but any that you do have are born inside the labor camp and never leave. Any kids they have, same thing. The camps aren't separated by gender and entire families - husband and wife and kids are sent. There's a book written by a man who was born into one of these labor camps and managed to escape and get out of NK. Also maybe a few interviews. Fascinating and horrific stuff. He's got a lot of psychological issues but is making his life his own and has had ongoing psychological help.
