The symmetry of the free Maxwell equations under transformation of electric field into magnetic field led Dirac (1931) to suggest the existence of magnetic monopoles. It is believed that very energetic particles are created in pulsars. These particles can interact between themselves and/or be smashed onto the neutron star surface to produce pairs of magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles. These monopoles would be accelerated in the pulsar magnetic field, one species towards the interstellar medium, the other towards the neutron star, producing a decrease in the magnetic field. Such a phenomenon can be related to observations, particularly to the discrepancy between the characteristic and the kinematical ages. It is shown that the observations can be explained by a production of magnetic monopoles, inherent to pulsars. The magnetic monopole production on the neutron star surface, in the model described by Ruderman and Sutherland (1975), is considered.
