The textile industry is on the rise. Why are the workers still so poor?

Something is out of kilter our workers in the raw textile field in Madagascar are considered to be in a state of poverty. Where are the improvements all this new business should bring?  According to the Gazette de la Grande Ile, » The results of a study conducted by a member of the World Bank shows that while Madagascar has experienced unheard of growth in sub-Saharan African raw textile industry, this expansion of the industry has brought very little return to the island in terms of reducing individual poverty. Between 1999 and 2001 Malagasy textile exports jumped from 45 to 450 million dollars, according to the study. New jobs were created to the tune of 136,000 to 191,000 compared to only 46,000 in 1997. This same study claims the textile industry was the fourth most important in the country with about 2% of the population actively engaged. Agriculture represented 72%, commercial business 6% and administration 2.5%. These figures show us while the increase in the raw manufacturing of textiles has largely increased new jobs in the country and represents more than half of the total exports of Madagascar, this prodigious growth has had very little impact on the overall level of poverty nationwide.
