Munshi provides a comprehensive analysis of the inherent dynamics 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, child labour, and the future of work. The analysis is grounded in empirical evidence and data, including figures from Labour Force Surveys and Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS), to offer evidence-based policy recommendations for addressing labour market challenges. 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.
