Bangladesh to create digital database of workers
30 Jun 22 1 min read
The project—Labour Information Management System (LIMS)—will digitally manage labourers' information and help develop their skills for workplaces, according to Bangladeshi media reports.
Labour secretary Ehsan-e-Elahi said approval of the project from the ministry of planning is being awaited.
Initially five formal sectors—tea garden, readymade garments, pharmaceuticals, tannery and ship-breaking—have been prioritised. Gradually, labour force from all the sectors will be covered, he noted.
- Solar energy & textile growth: How Asian giants are adapting
- Bangladesh’s RMG exports up 2.86% to $43.85 bn in July-May 2024
- Bangladesh’s PPP Authority & IFC partner for Laldia Terminal project
- US’ textiles & apparel imports ease 3.48% in Jan-Apr 2024
- Bangladesh’s proposed duty on machine imports raises FDI concern

Developing a database of workers is also one of the requirements of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the European Union (EU), he added.
