Designed for the economy of women, the Kim Jong Suk textile factory lies at the heart of a textile industry driven microdistrict. Incentivising women labour participation is even more crucial here as textile production is one form of the light industry which runs on women labour - a 1980 data shows that women made up 70% of the light industry.

To avail women for work, "housekeeping is transformed into a social industry, [and] the care and education of children becomes a public affair" 5. Hence one finds a particularly well-connected network of public amenities here, including grocery stores, laundromats, and childcare centres. The close proximity of these public amenities extends their work from the factory floor, facilitating their movement between the binary ideals of socionationalist and domestic femininity6.
