INTRODUCTION

Garments of Bangladesh in the world-market: Over the last twelve years or so the garments industries have emerged as the
largest source of earning foreign currency. About half of the foreign currency from the ready-made garments is earned from
European Union and the U.S.A. UK, Europe union, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand; Russia etc. also are other
garments importing countries. At present about 20 countries of the world are importers of our garments. Its market is being
expanded in the Middle East, Russia, Japan, Australia and many other countries.
In addition to its economic contribution, the expansion of the RMG industry has caused noticeable social changes by bringing
more than 1.12 million women into labor force. The economic empowerment of these working girls/women has changed their
status in the family. The attractive opportunity of employment has changed the traditional patriarchal hegemony of the fathers,
brothers and husbands. Most working women/girls can now choose when to get married or become mothers. The number of
early MARRIAGEs is decreasing; so is the birth rate; and the working girls tend to send their little brothers and sisters to school,
as a result, the literacy rate is increasing. They can participate in family decision-making. Most importantly, the growth of RMG
sector produced a group of entrepreneurs who have created a strong private sector. Of these entrepreneurs, a sizeable
number is female. A woman entrepreneur established one of the oldest export-oriented garment factories, the Baishakhi
Garment in 1977.
Bangladesh has emerged as a key player in RMG (Ready Made Garment) sector since 1978. Textiles and clothing account
for about 85% of total export earnings of Bangladesh. Out of which, 76% comes from the apparel sector which covers the
major products of knit and woven shirts, blouses, trousers, skirts, shorts, jackets, sweaters, sports wears and many more
casual and fashion items. The sector currently employs approximately 1.5 million workers, mostly females from
underprivileged social classes.
