Bangladesh Garments industry position in the world

Glimpses of Bangladesh garment industry:

Agriculture, as is the case in Republic of India and cost the sand of the economic system and the main source of revenue for the people of Bangladesh, a country is the government of villages to reduce poverty by getting the highest productivity agriculture and achieving self-sufficiency in food product. Apart from farming, the country concerned so much about the growth of the export department. Bangladesh Exports accelerated and significantly changed from time to time. Later the arrival of Bangladesh came into existence, jute and tea leaf were the just about export-oriented manufactures.
Only with the risk of flooding continues, and the absence of a large jute fiber and low prices in global demand, deteriorated jute sector's role in the economy (Spinanger 1986).

The garment industry in Bangladesh

The clothing industry of the section of the main export of Bangladesh and the principal source of foreign central over the past 27 years. Currently, the development of the country over $ 5000000000 worth of products every year through export of garments. And it works in the area of about 3 million actors, 80% are women.

In the clothing manufacture is checked by the change of product. The globalisation of apparel product began earlier and expanded more that of any other manufacturer. The companies have moved their production of blue collar than high-wage areas in low-cost cooking up regions in industrialized countries. Improve communication and networking system played a major role in this development. Brought making fine returns for the industrialized countries of Asia and Latin U.S.A. since the 1960s, export-oriented. The first transfer of the dressing industry took place in North U.S.A. and Western Europe to Japan in the 1950s and early 1960s, but in 1965 and 1983, Japan changed their focus to more profitable products such as cars, computers, stereos and therefore, have been worn by 400,000 textile industry workers and Japanese dress. In fact, the transfer of second floor clothing from Japan to the eastern tigers - Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore in 1970. However, this trend of relocation of production to stay. The increase in employment and costs of free trade union actions in the framework of the expansion of the economies of the Asiatic tigers.

The garment sector in Bangladesh and the World Series:

The reason for this type of transportation could be clarified through the structure of engages incoming the garment industry worldwide. Workwear charged per hour (wage and benefits, $ US) in the US is 10.12, but just 0.30 in Bangladesh. This acceleration of the difference in the world clothing exports to $ 3 billion stylish 1965, on developing countries, which account for only fourteen percent of the amount, to 119 billion in 1991, with developing countries contribute 59 percent. In 1991, the come of workers in the fashion industry in Bangladesh and raised in 582,000 1,404,000 in 1998. In the US, however, the figure in 1991 showed 1106.zero thousand workers in the garment sector in 1998 proved to be 765. 8000.

And reveal the information provided that the trend of low labor costs is the main reason for the transfer of the garment industry in Bangladesh. This practice, which began in the lately 1970s when the countries of the Asian Tigers in the pursuit tactics to avoid export quotas of western countries. Bangladesh garment units depend mainly on the country's "tiger" for raw materials. Intermediates in the Asian Tigers countries flesh an intermediary between the material units in their country house, where spinning and weaving forward, and units of Bangladesh where the fabric is cut, sewn, pressed and packed in boxes for exportation. The equal representatives of the US market for Bangladesh tiger discovered in many northern countries. Trading companies selling retail developed in the United States and Western Europe give orders in bulk for clothing in Bangladesh. Companies such as Marks & Spencer (UK) and C & A (Netherlands) control of the capital, in proportion to the owners of the capital of Bangladesh, which is patience. And sold T-shirts made in Bangladesh in developing countries for a period of five to ten times the price of imported products.

It is necessary to recognize the results of the transfer process of the production of higher wages for low-wage countries, both developing and developed countries. These are the bare facts that most Third World countries are now on the road to industrialization. In that go, workers working in poor working conditions - minimum wages, and an unhealthy place to work, and lack of security, guarantee employment, forced labor, etc.

path of globalization are fully of ups and downs for developing countries. Deportation relatively mobile, and the production of blue-collar industrial to developing countries, in some cases, may have disruptive effects on social life, though - the lack of planning and negotiations between external organizations and the bureaux and / or efficiency of the institutions of the host State - works transferred encourages Urban transport specific period and used a short break. Another negative effect is that it should not be important in a satisfactory manner and to reduce large-scale variations in the increase in employment and / or income. In relation to the negative consequences of the transfer of manufacturing jobs in educated countries, we realize that in the relatively blue collar industries, and the growth of imports from developing countries, leading to losses can not be avoided in work. It has been said that the development of sell with the South was a major cause of deindustrialization of labor in the north in recent decades.

Later altogether employees who are perpetually working under adverse conditions that must bear the weight. The work was brought under control through the work atmosphere Bangladesh terrible sector.The clothes in light of the garment industry in Bangladesh.

Research shows that 90 percent of the clothing of the personnel passed the disease or illness during the month prior to the interviews. Headache, anemia, fever, chest, stomach, eyes, ear pain, cough, cold, diarrhoea, dysentery, urinary tract contagions and reproductive wellness problems, the most common diseases. He gave the garment factories of various diseases loyalty employees to work. To see a link between these diseases and industrial hazards, was employee health status checked before and after each other in work clothes. At the end of the exam, he went out about 75 percent of the clothing of the workforce that sound health before entering the garment factory. The causes for the declining industrial threats to health, poor working conditions, and want to plant personnel, the terms and conditions of employment clothes, and the pressure in the work place, low wages and inflexible. Work associated with various threats and their impact on the health of employees forced to leave work a few months after joining the mill; the average out length of service was only 4 years.

Clothing sector is notorious for fires, which are supposed to have killed more than 200 people in the last two years, although the exact figures are hard to find. The example was the shocking lack of safety in the workplace fire in November 2000, which has nearly 50 workers of their lives inch Narsingdi and there are closed doors.

From the higher up analysis of the atmosphere of work in the garment industry, and we can conclude that call in the work environment in most third world countries, especially the development of the garment industry People's Republic of Bangladesh ahead the 1st world countries. The level of employment in many (but not necessarily) cloths and dressing units in developing countries to take us to the establishment in the 19th century in EEC and North America. Abuse of garment workers during childbirth at the head of the United Statesfactories development that have been discussed above period is more or less the same as it is now seen in the garment industry of Bangladesh. We can say that the clothes of the Third World peoples personnel living in the 21st century? He returned to forced labor?

On the way, Western companies are guilty of deplorable working atmosphere in the garment sector. Developed countries want to earn more profit and, therefore, developing countries are forced to reduce the manufacturing cost. In order to survive the competition, most developing countries to identify unethical practices. With the introduction of terms and conditions, it is flexible in the company, leaving the global economy few alternatives for developing countries.

The development of the garment industry in Bangladesh

In the manufacturing sector, have been found on the part of the textile industry is very important in both acquired and acquiring countries. The economic account of Great Britain reveals that in 18 cotton mills of Lancashire century in Britain opened the first industrial revolution in the world. In addition, over the past 200 years or more from many countries of the world have used textiles and clothing as a growth and core engine for economic development (Ahmad, 1991).

It was found in recent years, the garment industry has played an important role incoming the industrialisation and economic growth. Infact this industry is trying to put a wheel fell to the economic back to the right track of life through blood donation is necessary because (Chowdhury, 1991). The growth of the garment industry in Bangladesh is relatively new. In the British period, there was no garment industry in this part of India, Pakistan and the subcontinent. In 1960 the creation of the first garment manufacture in Bangladesh (East Pakistan) in Dhaka and even in 1971 the number increased to (Islam, 1984). But these clothes were of a different kind designed to serve only the domestic market. 1976 and 1977 and some businessmen came forward to establish 100% export pointed garment.

I liked both the national and international environment and the rapid development of these manufacture in Bangladesh. By the mid seventies-advanced clothing suppliers established in world markets while Hong Kong, South Korean Peninsula, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaya, Republic of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and strongly limited by quota restrictions enforced by John Major buyers such as the United States, Canada and the EU. To maintain their competitive edge in world markets, and monitoring the transfer of garment mills in these areas, which had been free quota policy restrictions, and it was no less than himself enough time to train the labor of 'Cheap work. The researchers found Bangladesh, one of the most golden countries. Available data show that the first shipment of clothes exported by the body politic in 1977 by Riad jewelry and clothing. The first dish was the biggest garment factories, which began operation in Chittagong in 1977. In fact, it was a modest beginning of a new garment factory joint venture in Bangladesh.

From humble beginnings sector and thus make the phenomenal growth in the past two decades, the amount of growth units in 4500 . The achievement worthy of mention clothing industry, especially for a country suffering from providing poor resources and unfavorable conditions for manufacturing. Exports increased by approximately $ 32 million in 1983-1984 to $ 1.4 billion in 1992-1993. In 1987-1988, the share of exports of raw jute clothes and overtaken related products. Increase the number increased to $ 5.7 billion in 2003/04, acting a contribution of about 75 per cent of total exports of the country's revenue this year. Estimates indicate that employment gave by the sector to about 1.5 million workers.
