The number of unemployed individuals in Bangladesh rose to 2.59 million in the first quarter (Q1) this year from 2.32 million in the last quarter of 2022, according to the Labour Force Survey released recently by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS). The current unemployment rate is 3.51 per cent.
Out of an estimated 144.7 million in the country's labour force, 73.6 million are employed in blue-collar jobs, while 71.1 million are employed in white-collar ones, Bangladesh media outlets reported.
The unemployment rate had declined to 3.6 per cent last year, mainly led by an upward trend in participation by women and youth. The previous survey conducted in 2016-17 had reported this figure as 4.2 per cent.
