explore football industry of pakistan
Answers
Answer:
The football industry of Pakistan is part of a sports goods industry in the town of Sialkot in northern Punjab, that has grown since 1860. The internal division of labour an the hierarchy of this industry has caused a highly unequal distribution of the chances of accumulation and the generation of income. Only a small group of exporting sports goods manufacturers is integrated into the world market and dominates the internal organisation of the production process. A large number of small producers and cottage industries are without any direct export connection and produce as sub-contractors. Due to the large extent of handwork, the football production is characterised by intense urban-rural linkages and has been the core of child labour engagement. The elimination of child labour as an a result of the "Atlanta Agreement" is discussed in its positive results and its limitations. A n overview of the world market of sports goods shows the large gap between the Sialkot manufacturers and the ten biggest companies in this field. The subordination of the Pakistani sports goods industry in the world market and its internal structure has led to losses of their value addition in recent years and to the low income level especially of the football stichers.
