UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN 2007
 In2007 the employment rate in
Bangladesh is 3.956 means it is high from
average line which is 3.52 ,it is just
because in Bangladesh more people of
working age than non working age people

age from 18 years to 60 years. The reason
behind this is n 2007 the inflation rate is
increase from 7.0 to 9.1 percent so it is
an aftermath of contactionary policy or
you can say that fiscal policy.
Bangladesh was unable to
exploit the full potential as it
can not create adequate
number of jobs for the
working-age population,
according to economists and
population scientists.

UNEMPOLYMENT RATE OF
BANGLADESH IN 2012
 Bangladesh unemployment rate in 2012 is
4.5% which is decreased value from last year

 The reason for that is inflation because
inflation increases and unemployement

 And second reason is lack socialization and
industrial backwardness.
 The population growth is also a reason for
that unemployement rate. When
unemployement rate becomes high.

role to provide jobs and improvement of labor force

the demand for labor and there by decreasing the
