32% Bangladesh RMG units didn’t implement higher wage till Sep 2024
In spite of a December 2023 Bangladesh government order asking RMG units to raise minimum wages, 32 per cent have failed to do that, a study conducted between September and December 2024 revealed. All non-compliant units are located outside the export processing zones. The wage hike has put the factories under financial pressure, but most have received no help from buyers or the government.
