 Executive Summary

Agriculture, as the case in India, has been the backbone of economy and chief
source of income for the people of Bangladesh, the country made of villages.
Government wants to decrease poverty by getting highest productivity from
agriculture and achieve self-reliance in food production. Apart from
agriculture, the country is much concerned about the growth of export
division..
The garment industry of Bangladesh has been the key export division and a
main source of foreign exchange for the last 25 years. At present, the country
generates about $5 billion worth of products each year by exporting garment.
The industry provides employment to about 3 million workers of whom 90%
are women. The whole procedure is strongly related with the trend of
relocation of production.
The cause of this transfer can be clarified by the salary structure in the
garment industry, all over the world. Apparel labour charge per hour (wages
and fringe benefits, US$) in USA is 10.12 but it is only 0.30 in Bangladesh.
This difference accelerated the world apparel exports from $3 billion in 1965,
with developing nations making up just 14 percent of the total, to $119 billion
in 1991, with developing nations contributing 59 percent. In 1991 the number
of workers in the ready-made garment industry of Bangladesh was 582,000
and it grew up to 1,404,000 in 1998. In USA, however, 1991-figure showed
1,106.0 thousand workers in the apparel sector and in 1998 it turned down to
765. 8 thousand.
