Abstract
Over the last few years, despite economic growth and declining poverty levels in Asia, inequality has continued to grow with large groups of society becoming marginalised, not least women. In Bangladesh, despite significant progress on women�s rights in recent years, women still compose a far smaller share of the labour force, and continue to face structural societal challenges towards education, higher level jobs and better work conditions. In addition, automation within the ready-made garment sector as well as the agricultural sector presents a big risk for women�s labour participation. Upcoming sectors, such as within Information and Communication Technology, risks limiting women�s access to the labour market even further.
