The role of textile and clothing industries in growth and development strategies and planning
Do you like this story?
This subject determines the role of textile and clothing (T & C) industries in growth and
development strategies and planning in developing countries. It suggests that textiles and clothing
industries are important in economic and social terms......... in the short-run by providing
incomes, jobs, especially for women, and foreign currency receipts and in the longrun by providing countries the opportunity for sustained economic development in
those countries with appropriate policies and institutions to enhance the dynamic
effects of textiles and clothing. The potential of the textile and clothing industries to
contribute to long-run growth and development will depend not only on the attributes
(desirable or otherwise) of the investors, but also on the quality and effectiveness of
government policies and institutions in developing countries to build on this
investment.
