“…This paper assesses the impact of this intervention on household 1 Khandker et al (2003) and Fuwa (2001) find that 8 percent of the increase in school enrollment can be attributed to FSSP.

“…We assume that most girls start secondary school at the age of 11, and secondary school also lasts for five years. However, in 1994, only girls enrolled in grades 6 and 9 received the stipend; in 1995 girls enrolled in all grades except grade 8 did so, and since 1996 girls enrolled in all grades have received the stipend (Shamsuddin 2015). Therefore, women born in 1980 or later are assumed to have received the stipend for at least one year of their secondary education.…”

Abstract:The trends of creation of new employment is essential to understand for human resource management because of the activities, policies, and practices of any organization involved in obtaining, developing, utilizing, evaluating, maintaining, and retaining the appropriate number and skill mix of employees. Therefore, the study has sought to provide an understanding on the issues and options involved in the characteristics included in broad sector of employment and employed population by major occupation, level of education, and occupation by sector of employment, employment by industry, status in employment etc. Moreover, the current research has explored the changing pattern of labour market in different points of view for both male and female workers. To achieve the aims of the study, data from Labor Force Survey (LFS) conducted by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) during the period of 1999 to 2010 have been used. The study showed that the rate of growth in unemployed population was higher than the employed population which might create an extra pressure in labour market. Moreover, it is also found that acute skill shortage is another particular concern which is affecting labour market. The main reason beyond not only the education levels of the workforce are low, but the education and vocational training are not maintained towards the markets needs. Therefore, creating productive employment opportunities will be imperative for sustained economic growth as well as to achieve optimal productivity and effectiveness.
