ABSTRACT
The Garments industries have been very important sector in the economy of Bangladesh. About
five million workers directly involved in this sector. Our economy has been growing due to their
hard and quality labor. Development of garments sector is a must in term of economic
development that cannot be possible without developing the socio economic conditions of these
workers. Though manifold measures have been emphasized and implemented by the respective
bodies for garment sector development, we do not pay enough time for the betterment of life
style of the garment workers whose contribution plays a key role in it. This article is an endeavor
to depict the socio economic conditions of the workers. The analysis is based on the survey of
100 workers of different readymade garment situated in Chittagong city. The prime conclusion of
this study is that the standard of living of the garment workers is still in precarious conditions
and they are not free from the vicious circle of poverty and face extreme difficulties in obtaining
their basic needs for survival even. Though there exist some sort of indications for satisfactory
matters, it derives from thinking as they may be unemployed and lack of alternative jobs. The
article has recommended the garment sector to develop the prevailing socio economic facilities
to a great extent to achieve workers satisfaction at the maximum level.
