Abstract

Ready-made garments (RMG) are considered the foundation of Bangladesh's foreign profit sector. In Bangladesh, this industry employs roughly 4.5 million people directly and another 15 million indirectly. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the socioeconomic challenge faced by Bangladeshi ready-made garment workers. In this study, both primary and secondary data are employed. For primary data, the number of samples used was 111 RMG workers, using the non-probability sampling method. Data collection was obtained through questionnaires and interviews from five garments located in Gazipur and Dhaka districts. Important statistical techniques and tools such as descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, factor analysis, and regression analysis are used to draw a realistic conclusion based on authentic findings. The study found that garment workers are confronted with numerous socio-economic challenges and psychological problems. Because of unsecured monthly salaries or wages and a lack of appropriate medical support, the standard of living of the workers is not maintained. The study will educate policymakers, interested parties, and industrialists on the need to focus efforts on reducing the socioeconomic difficulties faced by Bangladesh's ready-made garment workers and fostering sustainable economic growth. The research's conclusions would close a gap in the body of knowledge in this field.
