Abstract

Trade unions can make a country more viable, make its workforce more competitive and productive, create more jobs with skilled people, and ensure a decent minimum wage for workers and employees. Since the 1980s, particularly after globalization and the introduction of neoliberal policies, macroeconomic power, and trade unionism have declined in Western and developing countries. As a developing country, Bangladesh shows less trade unionism associated with globalization and neoliberalism. Most importantly, due to low education, skill, and socioeconomic diversity, women’s participation in trade unionism, mainly in Bangladesh’s Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sector, is predominantly low. This review article analyses the factors hindering women’s participation in trade unions in Bangladesh’s RMG sector.
