How to bridge education and employment in Bangladesh

Bangladesh's inability to create adequate opportunities for its young population has moved far beyond an economic concern.

- 

It represents a significant social and political challenge for the country.Persistent and high rates of youth unemployment expose deep structural weaknesses in an economy that has failed to translate its growth into more jobs. Instead of benefitting from the country's development gains, crores of young people find themselves excluded from productive work, which creates frustration and undermines weakened social cohesion. If this disconnect continues, it will jeopardise Bangladesh's long-term development trajectory and erode the very demographic dividend that should have been one of its greatest strengths.
