PROSPECT OF BANGLADESH YOUTH

Many observers believe that Bangladeshi youth has a great prospect. Bangladeshi labour force has a great reputation in World market.

While I was in UK, I have seen in many occasions that the employer prefers Bangladeshi youth compared to the youth of other parts of the World. The beauty of Bangladeshi labour force is that they are obedient, honest, reliable and hardworking, especially when they are in abroad.

I have heard from reliable source that most of security job in holy Macca and Madina is occupied by Bangladesh people because of their trustworthiness.

In UK, you will rarely find any Tesco, Sainsbury, McDonald's or KFC where there is no Bangladeshi youth because of their honesty and obedience. They always work for the company. They never think about themselves.

I have seen, so many Pub owners are searching only Bangladeshi people to employ; because Bangladeshi youth hardly drinks. In Tesco (biggest retail store in UK), if there are twenty candidates for job and among them two or three candidates are Bangladeshi, then it is almost guaranteed that those two/three Bangladeshi youth will get the job.

It is well recognised that Bangladeshi youth will do always little extra for the company. If there is any overtime, the manager will first come to Bangladeshi youth to ask whether or not he is available to do the over time. So, Bangladeshi people have a World reputation in relation their virtues and hard working mentality.

In local Bangladesh market, there is a great prospect for youth too.

There is a strong entrepreneurial spirit in the country. Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC) director Mahabub Hossain says: in Bangladesh 1.2 million jobs will be created each year.

Economic growth has historically been increased by the garment industry and this sector will continue to grow as human capital is cheaper in Bangladesh.

Not only that the economy is diversifying as well. A lot of opportunities are there; because its economy is still in its seed level.

Also, there is a rapid growth in leather manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry and property market. Further, there is a massive rise in the manufacture of bricks and cement.

IT industry is also going to go very popular in Bangladesh. It covers most of areas of every business. World’s leading researchers have announced Bangladesh as a “leading outsourcing destination” and “technology has changed the world, and Bangladesh has a larger stake to compete with other market within IT outsourcing industry”.

Overseas job market is also opening for them. "One-third of our workforce is finding employment in overseas. It is another major source of job opportunities. There is a lot of scarcity of manpower in the Middle East and China.

Also, there is a lot of opportunity for those who want to do something by themselves. They have to be self dependent.

They have to help themselves, rather than relying upon the government or any third parties to provide all the answers. They have to be job creators; rather being job seekers.

Good news is that so many Bangladeshi young entrepreneurs, who spent significant time in abroad, are going back to Bangladesh for doing business. They are choosing their mother land to achieve their goals. They are the knowledge bearer from the first World. They have patriotism, dreams and vision. They want to do something for their country.

So, Bangladeshi young generation has a great prospect. Government should utilize this human capital for its economic development.
