Women workers in Garments Industries of Bangladesh | Women the low level workers of Garments Industry

Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 by

Garments are referred normally as the cloth ready to use. Where garments are produced from fabric being called Garments Industry. Now maximum textile industries of Bangladesh has established as composite where spinning, knitting/weaving, dyeing and garments making are done together. Garments are the finished products of these successive subject matters of textile. Textile industry are now emphasized over Garments sector very much. Quality garment products are their key success from the last successive years.

In Garments industry, the industrialists use most of the low to medium educated workers for their business. Workers at a low wages are available in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is an agricultural country where most of the people earn their livings from agriculture, but when industrialization was begun to expand the landless people has become interested to involve themselves into this sector. At present about 4.2 million people works in Garments factory, most of them are women. In the largest sector of Bangladesh women have come from rural areas to make themselves independent. Since they are also the contributor of the family financially, they are enabled to talk to any family decision. For this sector women have got an opportunity to work in better environment through living in urban areas. 



But these women workers are falling under numerous problems to work in garments factories. In major cases women are neglected and given  low wages than men workers. The factory owners are claimed that they are low educated and low efficient in working as a result women labors make few wages through working during the same hours. Also women workers have fallen too many other invisible problems which are retained hide for number of years. They are emerged as tinny members and very rough behave also done with them in many cases. The garments workers also lead much miserable life that is not expected to a person.



Nevertheless, thousands of women worker are added daily into these factories to earn their livings. Now a days workers are combined together and make workers association. Under this association they struggled for increasing their wages and make a rule of minimum wage given. Bangladeshi Government has accepted their request and noticed the Garments Factories to give them a minimum wages of 4500 taka. Since, the factory owners are enabled to take any challenge into the world competitive market for this low level workers, they should be benefited workers by giving them right wages in right time. To minimize industrial dispute and clash the factory owners should sincere to give their wages, some extra facilities, welfare and job satisfaction through motivation.

RMG sector of Bangladesh | Contribution of RMG sector to the economy of Bangladesh

by

RMG
Ready Made Garments is abbreviated to RMG is a major foreign currency earning sector of Bangladesh. Garments are basic need of human beings. People like to get more up to date garments in their daily needs. For luxurious life leading dress plays an important role, to make anybody looks great it needs to be wear a good dress. Garments are the finished product of Textile industries. After completing a series of steps like spinning, knitting/weaving, dyeing and garments making from textile fiber a finished garments become ready to use. Now RMG sector is top most in Bangladesh GDP. It has created employment and earn maximum foreign currency. Thousands of different sizes garments industry has been established in various areas in Bangladesh.
 

History of RGM in Bangladesh
After country partition from India most of the Textile Industry was grown in west Pakistan (now pakistan) to develop the economy of the west Pakistan. The industrialists were transferred products from east to west Pakistan also. When Bangladesh gained independence in 1971, Bangladesh government took decision to make textile sector nationalize and as a result of it Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation(BTMC) was established. In 1978 Garments industry was established in Bangladesh with only nine enterprises. It was established under numerous obstacles like low productivity in the labor force, lack of planning, indiscipline, lack of accountability, and poor machine maintenance and operation resulted in a lack of profits. Day by day this sector started to overcome all the barriers and afterwards machinery is relatively inexpensive and easily available. In addition, garment producers can operate in smaller premises than those required by most of the processes in the textile industry. On top of this, Bangladesh has an abundant supply of cheap labor consisting mostly of women for whom this is one of the most suitable forms of employment. The rapid growth of this sector is primarily responsible for available labors of low wages. Now Bangladesh is the second Garments exporting country throughout the world. About 20 billion USD become earn Bangladesh from this sector. Now a days thousands of export oriented Garments factory has been established at Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayongonj, Norshingdi, Mymensing and Manikgonj in Bangladesh. About 75% of total revenue of Bangladesh now come from this sector. After making this sector as private, it becomes easy to gain this situation. Government of Bangladesh is now looking after this sector very much, from the sense of more production gov has made a distinct Textile University and four another Textile Engineering Colleges where students get chance to have a bachelor degree on Textile Engineering. Expectations that, RMG sector will help to develop Bangladeshi economy in the near future.

Silk is a very fine proteneous filament fiber. This soft fiber is made from silk warm which scientific name bombyx mori lives through eating mulberry leaves. These warm makes cocoons during their life which made with gummy substance sericin and it is a protein. Silk fiber was first found in China and afterwards it spreads worldwide, even in Bangladesh. Production process of silk fiber is known as sericulture and it is divided into two parts 'mulberry cultivation' and 'silkwarm'. In silk industry it is mentioned as two types of silk, one is mulberry type and another is non mulberry type. Non mulberry type silk is again divided into three sub categories. They are Tassar, Eri and Muga. In our country mulberry type silk is produced mostly. Silk is a protein fiber composed of fibroin, sericin, fats & waxes and mineral salts as a little part.


History of Silk in Bangladesh
There is no any clear cut information about growing of silk industry in our country but Silk has a long glorious history in Bangladesh. After partition in 1947, majority of these industry listed into India except only 10 percent left in Bangladesh. In this time only two sericulture nurseries were established in Rajashi zones with only 2000 manpower. In the view of expanding these industries and make cash Bangladesh Sericulture Board (BSB) was established in Feb, 1978 in the silk city Rajshahi. Also a silk research institute was also established in this city. Now Rajshahi is renowned for making cloths from silk (from raw silk, hard silk, spun silk) fiber which is much demand full across the whole country as well as abroad.



Mulberry Cultivation
Mulberry is a highly economic multipurpose usable plant. It is common name of the group heterozygous and growing species of genus morus of the family moracea. In Bangladesh mulberry plant cultivates particularly in Rajshahi division. Silkwarm is grown under a life cycle Moth-Egg-caterpillr-pupa . Caterpillr eats mulberry leaves and make cocoons rounded their body with a gummy protein sericin. After collecting cocoons it needs to boil and some other successive steps, as a result silk fiber is collected as thousand meter long and very soft.
