Half a Year of COVID-19 for Garment Workers in Bangladesh: What’s Next?

Here is MFO’s latest post in our Garment Worker Diaries blog series on workerdiaries.org: Half a Year of COVID-19: What’s Next?

With six months of COVID-19 permeating daily life in Bangladesh, what we want to know is whether garment workers are getting by, or just barely getting by. That is the topic of this week’s GWD blog.

While many variables such as employment and wage rates are trending positively and upward, we’ve noticed that just this past month a slightly higher rate of workers reported household illnesses, and a slightly higher rate of workers reported factory-related employment issues, such as factory closures.

We are in the middle of a critical time for both data collection and analysis. The next few months and into early next year will add crucial chapters to this story. Please read the full blog and check back with us next week for more updates on the lives of garment workers. And especially, do let us know if there is anything about garment workers themselves that you’d like us to ask them. You can write your questions to us at info@mfopps.org
