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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCOUNTINGAGE CATEGORYAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL WORKERSANNUAL INCOMEAVERAGE EARNINGSAVERAGE WAGEBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBUSINESS COMMUNITYBUYERSCAPITAL GOODSCHILD MORTALITYCHILD WORKERSCHILDREN PER WOMANCOLLECTIVE BARGAININGCOMMODITYCOMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONSCOMPETITIVE PRESSURECONSUMERCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTIONSCROP PRODUCTIONCURRENCYCURRENT ACCOUNTDAILY WAGEDEBTDEPRECIATIONDEVELOPMENT BANKDIRECT INVESTMENTDISSEMINATIONDIVERSIFICATIONDRIVERSEARNINGEARNINGSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC TRANSITIONEDUCATION FOR GIRLSEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT IN AGRICULTUREEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT RATEEMPLOYMENT RATESEMPLOYMENT STATUSESTIMATES OF POVERTYEXCHANGE RATEEXPORT PROCESSING ZONEEXPORT PROCESSING ZONESFAMILY MEMBERSFEMALE EDUCATIONFERTILITYFERTILITY RATESFIRING COSTSFIRING RESTRICTIONSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORMAL EDUCATIONGENDER GAPGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD ENTERPRISEHOUSEHOLD ENTERPRISESHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GROWTHINCOME INCREASESINCOME LEVELSINCOME SHARESINCOME SOURCESINCOMESINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIONINEQUALITYINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFLATIONINFLOW OF REMITTANCESINFORMAL SECTORINSURANCEINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT CLIMATE ASSESSMENTINVESTMENT CLIMATE ASSESSMENTSIRRIGATIONJOB CREATIONJOB LOSSESJOBSLABOR COSTLABOR COSTSLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE GROWTHLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET CHARACTERISTICSLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET REGULATIONSLABOR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOR MARKETSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR REGULATIONSLABOR RELATIONSLABOR STATISTICSLABORERSLABOURLAND OWNERSHIPLANDLESS WORKERSLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACYLIVE BIRTHSLIVING STANDARDLIVING STANDARDSLOW EARNINGSLOW-INCOMEMACROECONOMIC STABILIZATIONMALNUTRITIONMARKET ANALYSISMIGRATIONMINIMUM WAGEMINIMUM WAGESNATURAL RESOURCESNEW JOBSOCCUPATIONOCCUPATIONSOLD AGEOPEN UNEMPLOYMENTOTHER ASSETSPENSIONPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION EFFORTSPRESENT STUDYPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE EMPLOYMENTPRIVATE ENTERPRISESPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR WAGEPRIVATE TRANSFERSPRODUCT MARKETSPRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENTPRODUCTIVITY COMPONENTPRODUCTIVITY COMPONENTSPRODUCTIVITY GAINSPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENTPRODUCTIVITY INCREASEPROGRESSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INVESTMENTQUESTIONNAIRESRAPID GROWTHREAL ESTATERENTSRESEARCH ASSISTANCERURALRURAL AREASRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL POPULATIONSALARIED EMPLOYMENTSALARIED WORKERSALARIED WORKERSSALARYSANITATIONSAVING BEHAVIORSAVINGSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELF-EMPLOYMENTSKILL GROUPSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIOECONOMIC INEQUALITIESSOURCES OF INCOMESTATE-OWNED ENTERPRISESSUBSISTENCE FARMERSSYSTEM OF PREFERENCESTERM CONTRACTTERM CONTRACTSTERMINATIONTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTOTAL PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHTRADE UNIONSUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNION ACTIVITIESUNION ACTIVITYURBAN POPULATIONURBANIZATIONWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGE GROWTHWAGE RATEWAGE SECTORWARWORK INCOMEWORKERWORKING AGEWORKING AGE POPULATIONWORKING-AGE POPULATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7532-7
