Pakistan’s textile sector production capacity has several bottlenecks. These include, high financing costs, high labour costs with low productivity, secretive management, lack of awareness of legal rights among labour, and reliance on daily-wage workers. The last four are easy to improve and need more focus and effort on the part of textile workers and professionals. There is a need for professional textile labour and it needs to be equipped with modern technologies.
On the other hand, the labour departments of the provinces are not taking surveys to ensure an equitable and just system of labour management. The labour ends up going from one textile unit to another and ends up having less work days per month. All these labour issues are due to the prevailing socio-economic and political factors in the country. The provincial labour departments need to have monitoring plans for improved labour. productivity.
