Requirements for growth

Equip youth with skills to accelerate growth

Bangladesh's prominent strides towards a middle-income country faces many challenges, but it's also presented with many possibilities. One such possibility is unlocking the potentials of the youth, so that they can enjoy demographic dividends. Drawbacks for demographic dividends are that the proportion is increasingly being owed to elderly and dependents. Another such deficiency is the abundance of untrained and semi-skilled workforce. A significant connectivity must be created between educational institutions that communicate seamlessly with the various industries to provide highly skilled labor.

Further discussions and outlines of developmental issues were discussed in a conference on "Bangladesh: Way towards a middle income country". Policies and institutions, public perception on politicians, judiciary independence and governance agenda, uncertainty about the future reflected by private investments were some of the issues discussed in the meeting.
