Salary Payment Data

Salary payments are the subject of this week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog. As we’ve discussed before, the share of garment workers in Bangladesh receiving digital salary payments increased dramatically in May 2020. But since summer that year, digital salary payments have tapered off and now the share of workers receiving either a cash or digital salary payment are much closer.

MFO, SANEM and our partner for this blog post, Mathematica, wanted to get a more detailed understanding of how salary payments are currently being handled. So we went straight to the source and asked garment workers how they’re being paid. We discuss the timing of salary digitization, subsequent developments since the rapid rise in digitization in the spring of 2020, non-salary payments, payment variation among workers within the same factory, and workers’ control over and knowledge of their digitized payments.

As always, you can send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to questions@workerdiaries.org
