Munshi provides a comprehensive analysis of the inherent and emerging challenges in Bangladesh’s labour market.
Beginning with an overview of the country’s labour market conditions and regulations, it examines the current issues through dedicated chapters on youth unemployment, international migration, female labour force participation, and skill formation. The analysis is grounded in empirical evidence and data, including figures from the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS), to offer evidence-based policy recommendations for addressing labour market shortages. A concise chapter also explores the conditions of Bangladesh’s garment sector, a key export industry.
Combining empirical analysis with policy recommendations, this book will appeal to policymakers and scholars in development studies, labour economics, and South Asian studies.
Farzana Munshi is Professor of Economics, BRAC University, Bangladesh. She obtained her PhD in Economics from the University of Gothenburg, under the Wallander Doctoral Scholarship, in 2008. Her consulting experience covers the International Labour Organization, World Bank, and Japan Economic Foundation.
