Technical recommendations on the feasibility assessment of an employment injury insurance scheme in Bangladesh

On the 4th of March 2019, the ILO Global Programme on Employment Injury Insurance and Protection (GEIP) published the ILO Technical Recommendations on the Feasibility Assessment of an Employment Injury Insurance Scheme in Bangladesh.

This report and its supporting documents consolidate the outcomes of extensive public consultations held between 2015 and 2017 on a draft legal framework and a financial assessment prepared by the ILO on the basis of Convention No. 121.
It takes also into consideration the discussions held within the High-Level National EII Tripartite Committee, including the official submissions made by the social partners following the meeting in July 2018.

The report lays foundation for furthering national dialogues to establish a national EII scheme to cover all workers in Bangladesh, by starting with the ready-made garment sector in the first phase of implementation.
