Managing expatriate workers in Bangladesh: prospects and challenges
1. Background & Rationale of the Study:
Background:
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world with 900 people living in the every square kilometer of its land. The per capita income of Bangladesh is $923 as on 30 June 2013. A developing country like Bangladesh which is so over populated and has so little employment opportunities at home is undoubtedly left with a huge fraction of unemployed manpower that cannot be absorbed by employment opportunities of her own. Bangladesh has an estimated labour force of 56 millions (age 10+), which grows 1.9% per year with a high rate of unemployment. In 2006 the size of unemployed labour force below the age of 25 exceeded 15 million (Islam n d).
Migration of Bangladeshi workers may be a solution to such a problem. According to the IOM (International Organization for Migration) the term migration refers to ‘’ the movement of a person or a group of persons, either across an international border or within a state. ‘’ the IOM has defined migration as “ a population movement, encompassing any kind of movement of people, irrespective of its length, composition and causes and including migration of refuges, displaced persons, economic migrants or persons moving for family
