“…31 Given the limited oversight of these regulations, low pay rates and limited social welfare systems, it is not surprising that many work long hours. 32,33 Our interviews highlight that when a male lost a limb, the female spouse assumed many of the occupational responsibilities, but this role reversal did not occur when a female lost a limb. A woman may have sought her first paid employment after their spouse had an amputation, thereby assuming a disproportionate amount of paid and unpaid work without the equitable exchange of work roles where their husband undertook domestic or childcare duties.…”

Background: Lower limb amputation due to workplace injury and motor vehicle accident is common in Bangladesh. Qualitative research may extend our understanding of how physical impairment and other factors, such as cultural norms, family roles and the built environment, facilitate or hinder work participation following lower limb amputation and prosthetic rehabilitation. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the experience of people in Bangladesh following lower limb amputation and prosthetic rehabilitation to understand the facilitators and barriers to their work participation. Study Design: Qualitative interviews with thematic analysis. Methods: The Worker Role Interview was used to guide semi-structured interviews in a convenience sample of 10 adults living in Bangladesh following lower limb amputation and prosthetic rehabilitation. Interviews were interpreted, and the themes that emerged were evidenced with first-person quotes. Results: Barriers and facilitators to work participation were synthesised into the following themes: spirituality, attitudes, meaning of work, planning for work participation, traditional gender roles, social support, mobility aids, environmental challenges and ergonomic adaptations. Conclusion: This qualitative approach identified barriers and facilitators to work participation, such as the role of spirituality and the effect of gender roles, that have not been well researched in this population. Being aware of their effects can help clinicians reduce barriers to work participation. Clinical relevance Greater awareness of the barriers and facilitators to work participation, such as the role of spirituality or the effect of gender roles, can assist clinicians to reduce barriers and help facilitate work participation for people living in Bangladesh following lower limb amputation and prosthetic rehabilitation.

“…In addition, the workers still have no adequate knowledge regarding labor law and their rights (Hossan et al, 2012). It is trepidation of the domestic and internal spectators that the legal provisions, ILO conventions, ethics relevant for this sector are barely complied with by the RMG sector and this situation has created the workers' lives distressful (Islam et al, 2018). The labour unrests of Bangladesh mainly occur because of health and safety issues, low wages, working hours, the relationship between the employers and the labour unions, and political issues (Roy, 2020).…”

In this study, an attempt has been made to analyze the prospect of Keith Davis's Human Relations Theory in developing and maintaining SIRs in the garment sector of Bangladesh. Methodology: A review of the available literature on the Garment sector in Bangladesh revealed that there are frequent industrial unrests in Bangladesh Garment Sector. Still, none of the industrial relations theories can play a role in developing and maintaining SIRs in Bangladesh's garment sector. This condition has enthused the authors to develop a conceptual framework based on Keith Davis Human Relations Theory to create Human relations to reach SIRs in the Garment sector of Bangladesh. Findings:The study provides a conceptual framework mainly based on Keith Davis's Human Relations Theory which can create human relations to reach SIRs in the garment sector of Bangladesh. Furthermore, the Keith Davis's Human Relations Theory can be considered as the avenue to cover the unitary approach's view and the views of Dunlop System theory, pluralistic theory and social action theory. Research Limitations:The researchers developed a conceptual framework based on Keith Davis's Human Relations Theory to develop and maintain SIRs in the garment sector of Bangladesh but its empirical study is yet to be conducted. Originality: The current state of labor relations in Bangladesh's garment industry is discussed in the study. There has been literature on industrial relations, SIRs and Human Relations theory. The relevant literature review shows that not a single study has been conducted to date to investigate if the Keith Davis Human Relations Theory can promote SIRs in Bangladesh's garment sector.

Agriculture is the engine of an economy. In Bangladesh, 50% of the entire laborer force is employed in farming, and around 87% of rural families depend on agriculture for any part of their wages. Considering the importance of the agriculture sector in Bangladesh, the study examines the nexus between agricultural output and economic growth. In the finding of this causality, the VECM test has been applied and found the long-run relationship between variables where the rate of restoring the disequilibrium into equilibrium is 66.4%. The research applies the impulse response function and variance decomposition where in both cases, the result implies that the agricultural output is much more significant on economic growth than industrial output, meaning that to be a sustainable economy, the agriculture sector cannot be ignored. The study also provides insights to the policymakers that the agriculture sector should be given much more priority in terms of budget, and the academician should do more research to develop sustainable agro-based products.
