This is not about Lady doctors but providing low level jobs for large numbers of semi educated women.
The underwear business is ideal for that.
Are you kidding here by lowering the importance of textiles in the total industrialization that follows it? While you are pretending to show off your macho culture, in reality, you are showing your ignorance about how the world has been industrializing.
Perhaps many half-literate guys do not even know that today's developed countries started their (modern) economic development through successful textile ventures.
England (cotton textiles), France (cotton textiles after stealing and smuggling a few prototype steam power looms from England), America (raw silk to Europe), Japan (silk and cotton/ polyester textiles), Korea (polyester and cotton textiles), and China.
After accumulating capital, expertise, labor/ production management, packaging, shipment, and many other things in a modern economy, each of them leaped forward to other industries gradually and started to build metal-based industries producing more value-added goods.
China is the latest example. China is already rising up the ladder of the next industries, BD will take a few more decades to go to that stage. But, for now, it is following the correct path of producing
UNDERWEAR.
But, why does it hurt you if we produce
UNDERWEAR? Is it not out of jealousy? We can produce and export $40 billion worth of
UNDERWEAR, but your country cannot.
