Gendered exit and displacement
Women have long underwritten the global garment industry while disproportionately bearing the burden of its coercive labor regimes. In Bangladesh—the world’s second-largest apparel exporter after China—this feminization was widely celebrated as a development success that incorporated millions of women into formal employment. Yet the narrative is fraying: women’s share of the ready-made garment workforce has fallen from roughly 80% in the 1980s to…
Social Transformation in Bangladesh
After Rana Plaza
In 2013, the Rana Plaza disaster highlighted the highly exploitative conditions of the global garment supply chain centred on Bangladesh. Global lead firms and other stakeholders responded by reforming the labour governance system comprising public and private regulations. How can the effects of this new multi-level governance system on worker outcomes (wages, working conditions and workers’ rights) be conceptualized and explained? Using an inter…
Multi-actor Initiatives after Rana Plaza
The Rana Plaza factory disaster in April 2013, which resulted in the death of a large number of factory workers and injured many more in Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry, highlighted the sustained failure of the government of Bangladesh to address safety in the workplace. In the wake of the tragedy two significant transnational governance initiatives emerged - the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh (hereafter the Accord) and…

Economic exploitation faced by workers in Bangladesh's ready-made garment (RMG) industry, in recent decades has provided millions of Bangladeshi women with opportunities for improved social status and reduced dependence on structures of patriarchy. In recent years, there has been a marked decline in both overall employment in Bangladesh's RMG sector, as well as the rate of female participation in it. This paper examines the reasons for this recen…
Socio-Economic Vulnerability and Neo-Liberalism
Based on a case study of an export-oriented Bangladeshi garment company, this article shows how hierarchies of vulnerability have developed in the process of global integration of Bangladesh’s garment industry. Situating the problem of economic dependency in a globalised context within a broader political economy discussion of local Bangladeshi scenarios, the study illustrates how such patterns of development are shaped by internal as well as ext…
