Baseline Assessment of Skills and Employment of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Bangladesh

The Skills and Employment Baseline Assessment of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Bangladesh was conducted by the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) with the support of ILO. The findings of this report will contribute greatly to the body of knowledge on the socio-economic condition and skills of indigenous and tribal peoples in Bangladesh. The survey indicates that the skills and employability of Indigenous and Tribal men and women in Bangladesh urgently need to be enhanced. Providing skills that link to Decent Work is an important step which will help lift many out of poverty.
