Education and skill development have
played a crucial role in economic growth, poverty reduction
and social transformation in Bangladesh, particularly the
inclusion of women in the labor force in the last decade.
Bangladesh has made impressive gains in improving access to
education, reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
of gender parity at the primary and secondary levels.
Increased access to secondary education among girls over the
past twenty years appears to have produced a powerful agent
of social mobility as it is likely that many of the young
girls who benefitted from the female stipends in the early
90s have now entered the labor market and may be enjoying
higher earnings than older female cohorts. The widespread
entry of women into the labor market has been a leading
factor in the rapid expansion of the garment industry. With
around USD 15 billion in export value in 2010, the readymade
garment industry is currently Bangladesh's most
important industry sector (McKinsey and Company 2011). In
this context, a policy note on the skills development is
being prepared to discuss the issues of the linkage between
education and skills development and the labor market. The
policy note, together with two other policy notes on access
and equity, and quality of education, will be part of the
Bangladesh Education Sector Review (ESR). The ESR is
developed for diagnosing the current educational situation
in Bangladesh and discusses different policy options for the
way forward. The skills development policy note aims to
assess the flow and stock of today's skills demands and
supply, in the areas of formal and informal sector labor
market, as well as the overseas labor market where a large
number of Bangladesh seeks for employment opportunities. It
also aims to discuss the skills required for Bangladesh to
develop when achieving the status of the middle income
country as stipulated in the vision 2021. As part of the
skills policy note, the Enterprise-based Skills Survey (ESS)
has been conducted. This background report documents the
technical properties of the ESS and discusses the general
results of the survey. |
