trend of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and its role to absorbed labour force.
Explanatory method used in order to explain the characteristics of the industry

the chemical and pharmaceutical industry gets the highest value of the total
FDI, which is 26.88 percent of total FDI, but gives a small contribution to the
labor absorption. Second, the textile industry is the most labour absorbing
even though it has lower value of total FDI. Third, the leather and textile
