The objective of this report is to
analyze the important roles of labor markets, employment,
productivity, and labor income in facilitating shared growth
and promoting poverty reduction in Bangladesh. First, the
report provides a background discussion of poverty, reform,
and growth in Bangladesh. Following that, it gives an
overview of the labor market, describing the country's
demographics, the institutional structure of the labor
market, and the labor market indicators. Then a poverty
profile of the labor market is developed, followed by a
discussion of the income sources and a decomposition of
poverty reduction. A number of selected issues are discussed
in the final section, including rural versus urban
conditions; women, and children in the labor market;
self-employment and household employment; and socioeconomic inequalities.
