Özet
Bangladesh must continue to struggle and create room for young empowerment, notwithstanding its remarkable economic growth. Inducing a recession, the economic impact of the pandemic has serious ramifications for the Bangladeshi economy. Considering secondary data obtained from websites, newspapers, journals, and reports, this paper aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on unemployment in Bangladesh. The youth population has increased by a big margin, which means that the total number of unemployed youths in Bangladesh has actually risen much more than what seems on the surface, and the Bangladesh economy has experienced jobless growth in recent years. Even as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the majority of private companies laid off their personnel, exacerbating the unemployment problem. Many of them are disadvantaged and lack access to opportunities.
Abstract
Bangladesh must continue to struggle and create room for young empowerment, notwithstanding its remarkable economic growth. Inducing a recession, the economic impact of the pandemic has serious ramifications for the Bangladeshi economy. Considering secondary data obtained from websites, newspapers, journals, and reports, this paper aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on unemployment in Bangladesh. The youth population has increased by a big margin, which means that the total number of unemployed youths in Bangladesh has actually risen much more than what seems on the surface, and the Bangladesh economy has experienced jobless growth in recent years. Even as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the majority of private companies laid off their personnel, exacerbating the unemployment problem.
