| Research Abstract |
This study focused on Bangladesh international labor migration,and it examined thelabor conditions of Bangladeshi migrants in recipient countries.The effect of the background of inter- national labor migration on poverty in Bangladesh was also analyzed. Following the independence,in 1976, labor migration started in response to the demand for labor force from the Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC) countries.There has been a rapid increase in the number of laborers migrating to GCC countries since then,not only in response to the demand for labor force in recipient countries,but also because the Overseas Employment Policy of the government of Bangladesh encourages overseas remittances for the purpose of acquiring foreign currency.The UAE has been at the top of the list of countries where Bangladeshi migrant laborers work since 2006,and with regard to occupational category,half are construction laborers who tolerate particularly hard working conditions for low earnings.
