Therefore, the study has sought to provide an understanding on the issues and options involved in the characteristics included in broad sector of employment and employed population by major occupation, level of education, and occupation by sector of employment, employment by industry, status in employment etc. Moreover, the current research has explored the changing pattern of labour market in different points of view for both male and female workers. To achieve the aims of the study, data from Labor Force Survey (LFS) conducted by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) during the period of 1999 to 2010 have been used. The study showed that the rate of growth in unemployed population was higher than the employed population which might create an extra pressure in labour market. Moreover, it is also found that acute skill shortage is another particular concern which is affecting labour market. The main reason beyond not only the education levels of the workforce are low, but the education and vocational training are not maintained towards the markets needs. Therefore, creating productive employment opportunities will be imperative for sustained economic growth as well as to achieve optimal productivity and effectiveness.
Multi-vocal voices of refugees: A case study of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh

This article explores relationships with local communities as they are represented in the multi-vocal voices of Rohingya refugees. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with a group of Rohingya refugees based in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh along with observations of camp life. Twenty participants were interviewed. The observations provide insights into the feelings of anxiety among the Rohingya refugees. Yet, the findings also suggest that the refugees hold out hope that in Bangladesh they will find a sense of belonging. The study draws on Bakhtin’s notion of heteroglossia as positioned through sociological discourse, to reflect the social experiences of refugee young people and their families. The intent of the article is to open up, rather than to close off engagement with the issue – furthering awareness and possible actions to be taken.
