Protests on streets, talks at table: Bangladesh under pressure from workers' unrest

Bangladesh’s ready-made garment (RMG) industry is the backbone of its economy. The sweat of millions of workers in this sector generates the lion’s share of the country’s export earnings. The industry accounts for around 80 per cent of Bangladesh’s total exports, worth approximately $36 billion last year. Yet behind this success lies a long-standing crisis over wages, working conditions and job security. In recent months, unpaid wages, layoffs and factory closures have once again fuelled workers’ discontent.
