Abstract
Educated Unemployed is a matter of great concern in Bangladesh. They actually victim from both ends. In the study time they expend money for the studies and also lost income generating activities when they could earn wages. Though government of Bangladesh bears a portions of the educational expenses but major amount of money bears from the student’s side. Considering this landscape unemployment is actually a huge waste of human resource. Therefore manpower planning is inevitable and significant.
The current situation gone worse due to the direct impact of covid-19. There should be changes in the recruitment policy and rules both public and private sector regarding gender, educational accomplishments and process of the recruitment. Government should impose rules for all the recruiting organization to become an equal opportunity employer.
Presently Bangladesh has 1.38 crore underemployed people. Of them, 45.3 percent are in the service sector, 30.6 percent in the agriculture sector and 24.1 percent in the industry sector, says a government study. The General economic division (GED) under the planning ministry conducted the study, the first of its kind in the country, between May and June last year to get an insight into the nexus of economic growth, employment generation, productivity and investment. A study also revealed that Dhaka ranked sixth among 25 Asian capital cities in official unemployment ratings. In this study we tried to present the after covid-19 impacts on employability in Bangladesh.
