KAESONG, NORTH KOREA - MAY 22: North Korean women work at the assembly line of the factory of South Korean textile company ShinWon at the Kaesong industrial complex on May 22, 2007 in Kaesong, North Korea. 300 South Korean companies, mostly labour-intensive manufacturers, are waiting to build their factories on the site by the end of 2007, just 10 km north of the world's most heavily fortified border bisecting the two Koreas. They plan to hire more than 100,000 North Koreans to make products ranging from shoes and watches, clothes, according to officials from Kaesong industrial complex. About 2,000 South Korean companies have applied to move their production facilities into the Kaesong complex, where they can pay only one-thirtieth of the monthly wage per worker they pay at home or half the pay even in China.
