Data Accuracy in Bangladesh: Challenges and Perspectives
The phrase "Garbage in, garbage out," coined by IBM programmer George Fuechsel, reflects the two most important challenges associated with data analysis and policymaking.

Whereas many other developed countries have managed to develop solid systems that showcase exact data, Bangladesh has often lagged in this regard and has thus continued to provide inconsistent data ever since the beginning of collecting data. The incongruity affects a great deal of decision-making at the national level, from economic planning to health management to educational policies.

The Bangladesh government, too, envisions the implementation of its 'Vision 2041' based on this demographic dividend. However, according to the latest Quarterly Labor Force Survey by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), the number of young workers (aged 15 to 29 years) in the country is decreasing. Such news is not promising for the nation.
