The Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Bangladesh The study examines the impact of the global financial crisis on Bangladesh with particular reference to exports, remittances and imports along with budgetary implications. The study was completed in April 2009 and KAS Murshid was its Project Director. The co-researchers were Salma Chaudhuri Zohir, Mansur Ahmed, Zabid Iqbal, and ATMS Mehdi. Fiscal and Policy Space for Crisis Response with a Focus on Employment and Labor Market: A Study of Bangladesh In the background of recent global economic crisis, the study identifies the broad elements of a possible post-crisis development agenda consisting of measures to cope with severe external shocks in future and sustain development strategies with an improved social face especially for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The study gives particular attention to employment and labor market aspects of development so that adverse effects on employment during future crises can be addressed. The study proposes a package of employment and labor market programs within the framework of a basic social floor. The study also demonstrates that the necessary fiscal space for implementing such a program can be created through the country’s own resources. The study would be completed in March 2011 and Zulfiqar Ali is its Project Director. The co-researchers are Mustafa K. Mujeri and Rizwanul Islam. Employment, Human Development and Social Protection Social Management for the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) The study identifies the strengths and weaknesses of social management practices in the Export Processing Zones (EPZs) of Bangladesh. In the process, the study provides an assessment of the regulatory environment applicable to the EPZ enterprises and develops mechanism to monitor implementation of those in EPZ factories. The study advocates for installing awareness raising programs in order to maintain better labor compliance in EPZ factories which should concentrate more on informing the workers regarding both their rights and responsibilities. Moreover, better compliance can become an important marketing tool for the EPZ factories. The study was completed in December 2008 and Nazneen Ahmed acted as its Project Director. Other team members were Md. Harunur Rashid Bhuyan and Golam Nabi Majumder. Social Management System in the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority The study develops several mechanisms to improve social management within the factories of the Export Processing Zones (EPZs) of Bangladesh. A sustainability plan is also developed for various ongoing social programs within the EPZs. The study also explores the role of various awareness raising programs in enhancing better labor compliance in EPZ enterprises. The study maintains that not only the labor compliance issues, but the environmental compliance issues should be monitored as well in EPZ factories. The study was completed in April 2010 and Nazneen Ahmed acted as the Project Director. Team members included Mohammad Yunus and Md. Nazmul Hoque. BIDS Biennial Report 2009-2010 11
