Zusammenfassung
Bangladesh has seen a significant increase in women’s participation in the workforce in recent years. According to the International Labour Organization, it increased by 35 percent between 2008 and 2017, while male employment increased by only 11 percent. However, women still face many barriers in the job market. One important issue is their limited participation in trade unions. Although the potential to improve the situation for women is huge, women are still severely underrepresented - on average only 6.3% of trade union members are women. The purpose of this report is therefore to look into women’s participation in trade unions and the issues they face as well as how women’s roles in trade unions can be strengthened.
