2. Vision Statement
The textile and apparel industries provide the single
source of economic growth in Bangladesh's
rapidly developing economy. Exports of textiles and
garments are the principal source of foreign exchange
earnings.
Today the apparel export sector is a mufti-billion-dollar
manufacturing and export industry in the country.

3. Literature Review
Many researchers have investigated working conditions in the
Bangladesh garments industry. In fact Working conditions in the
RMG(Ready Made Garments) sector are below standard and do not
meet the ILO standards.
Labour standards and rights are commonly ignored in the RMG
factories in Bangladesh: poor practices include the absence of trade
unions informal recruitment, and irregular payment, sudden
termination, wage discrimination, excessive work, and abusing child
labour.

earnings. In 2007 it earned $9.35 billion.
 This sector also contributes around 13 percent to the GDP, which
was only around 3 percent in 1991. Of the estimated 4.2 million
people employed in this sector, about 50 percent of them are
women from rural areas.
