RMGs are the finished textile product from clothing factories and the Bangladeshi RMG sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in the Bangladeshi economy, with a growth
rate of 55% from 2002 to 2012.[21] Exports of textiles, clothing, and ready-made garments (RMG) accounted for 77% of Bangladesh's total merchandise exports in 2002. By
2005 the (RMG) industry was the only multibillion-dollar manufacturing and export industry in Bangladesh, accounting for 75 per cent of the country's earnings in that year.
Bangladesh's export trade is now dominated by the ready-made garments (RMG) industry. In 2012 Bangladesh's garment exports mainly to the US and Europe made up
nearly 80% of the country's export income. By 2014 the RMG industry represented 81.13 percent of Bangladesh's total export. Much of the tremendous growth of the sector
and its role as an economic powerhouse for the country is attributed to the availability of "cheap" labor. Of the four million workers employed by the RMG industry, 85% are
illiterate women from rural villages. The working environments and conditions of the factories that produce ready-made garments has undergone criticism in recent years
concerning worker safety and fair wages. Subcontracting is a major component of the RMG industry in Bangladesh. Many Western companies contract different factories, only
requesting that certain quotas be met at certain times. Companies prefer subcontracting because the degree of separation presumably removes them of liability of wage and
labor violations It also makes it easie to distribute production across a variety of sources. A variety of statistical techniques (weightage analysis, frequency distribution
etc.) were applied to analyze the data. The most pronounced health problem as determined from data collection include: the most pronounced health problems
included by severity: knees (86%), shoulders (79%), neck (73%), ankles (60%), low back (56%), wrists (54%), right elbow (52%), and hips (33%). The causes of
diseases indicated by respondents include heavy workload with prolonging work in a congested and hot humid environment, and not having meals at the
appropriate time. Knowledge about workplace policies, OHS awareness and participation in OHS drills has been assessed by the Likert scale method. Apart from
experiencing physical health problem, the workers suffer from mental stress, job and social insecurity. Finally, the research offers recommendations to improve
OHS in the RMG and textile industry workers including having a worker-friendly environment, improved OHS care facilities, post-accident rehabilitation, and
compensation for work injury. the workers in the readymade garment industry are not physically and mentally sound to do the work efficiently. Keeping this in
mind, the study has been conducted to identify the major health problems of the workers in the garment industry of Bangladesh. In this study 265 workers have
been interviewed personally and collected data have been analyzed through factor analysis to identify the major health problems of the workers derived from the
working environment and the nature of their job. This study identified fourteen major health problems of the workers. They are pain in body muscles, complexity
arises from abortion, food poisoning, pruritus, eye strain, neck pain, hepatitis, frequent headache, cut injury, fatigue, common cold, numbness and tingling of
fingers and arms, gastric pain and helminthiasis. The government along with other concern bodies should take necessary action to overcome the health problems
of the workers so that they can contribute more for the development of the readymade garment industry of Bangladesh.( reference Pearl Journal of

- 2. Introduction RMG industry has been functioning in Bangladesh since long as a catalyst for sustainable development and growth of the country. It is the largest exporting industry in Bangladesh that has experienced tremendous growth during the last 25 years. It provided more than five million direct jobs, 16 percent of GDP, and more than 81 percent of foreign exchange earnings in FY2013-2014. The Knitwear industry is adding up to 75% value, which opens up enormous potential for foreign and domestic investors to spend in the areas of spinning, weaving, sewing, packaging, and accessories manufacturing. contribution and Challenges( Journal of Economics and Finance (IOSR-JEF), 2017 ) The textile and clothing industries provide the single source of growth in Bangladesh's rapidly develop economy. Exports of textiles and garments are the principal source of foreign exchange earnings. By 2002 exports of textiles, clothing, and ready-made garments (RMG) accounted for 77% of Bangladesh's total merchandise exports. In 1972, the World Bank approximated the gross domestic product (GDP) of Bangladesh at US$6.29 billion, and it grew to $173.82 billion by 2014, with $31.2 billion of that generated by exports, 82% of which was ready-made garments. As of 2016 Bangladesh held the 2nd place in producing garments just after China. Bangladesh is the world's secondlargest apparel exporter of western (fast) fashion brands. Sixty percent of the export contracts of western brands are with European buyers and about forty percent with American buyers. Only 5% of textile factories are owned by foreign investors, withmost of the production being controlled by local investors. In the financial year 2016-2017 the RMGindustry generated US$28.14 billion, which was 80.7% of the total export earnings in exports and12.36% of the GDP; the industry was also taking ongreen manufacturing practices. Bangladesh's textile industry has been part of the trade versus aid debate. The encouragement of the garment industry of Bangladesh as an open trade regime is argued to be a much more effective form of assistance than foreign aid. Tools such as quotas through the WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC) and Everything but Arms (EBA) and the US 2009Tariff Relief Assistance in the global clothing markethave benefited entrepreneurs in Bangladesh's ready- made garments (RMG) industry. In 2012 the textile industry accounted for 45% of all industrial employment in the country yet only contributed 5% of the Bangladesh's total national income. After several building fires and collapses, resulting in the deaths of thousands of workers, the Bangladeshi textile industry and its buyers have faced criticism. Many are concerned with possible worker safety violations and are working to have the government increase safety standards. The role of women is important in the debate as some argue that the textile industry has been an important means of economic security for women while others focus on the fact that women are disproportionately textile workers and thus are disproportionately victims of such accidents. Measures have been taken to ensure better worker conditions, but many still argue that more can be done. 20XX Sample Footer Text 2
- 3. Introduction President Rahman promoted democracy Anda socialist form of capitalism. The BTMC never managed to match the pre- 1971 output and in everyyear after the 19751976 fiscal year, lost money. Until the early 1980s the state owned almost all spinningmills in Bangladesh and 85 percent the textile industry's assets (not including small businesses). Under the 1982 New Industrial Policy(NPI) a large number of these assets including jute mills and textile mills were privatized and returned totheir original owners. In the devastating famine in 1974, one million people died, mainly of starvation caused in part by the flooding of the Brahmaputra river in 1974, and a steep rise in the price of rice. Partly in response to the economic and political repercussions of the famine, the Bangladeshi government shifted public policy away from its concentration on a socialist economy, and began to denationalize, disinvest and reduce the role of the public sector in the textile industry while encouraging private sector participation. The 1974New Investment Policy restored the rights to bothprivate and foreign investors. Bangladesh's development model switched from a state-sponsoredcapitalist mode of industrial development withmainly state-owned enterprises (SOE) to private sector-led industrial growth.(reference International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary ResearchISSN: 2393-8870) 20XX Sample Footer Text 3
