Public sector jobs in Bangladesh gain popularity due to salary revisions.
The article explores why more people in Bangladesh are now preferring government jobs over private sector jobs. By comparing wages and benefits, the researchers found that public sector jobs have become more attractive since a salary increase in 2015. This shift is especially noticeable for entry-level positions. While higher-paid private sector workers adjusted their salaries, lower-paid ones did not. Public sector jobs also offer more non-wage benefits. This change in preference is reflected in recent movements to revise the quota system in Bangladesh.
