The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has urged the government of the country to take more initiatives to equip garment workers and employees with re-skilling, upskilling and knowledge to cope up with changing trends in the global apparel industry, especially brought by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).

BGMEA’s president Faruque Hassan also requested the ministry of labour and employment to consider ways to effectively use the central fund to ensure welfare of garment workers. He said this during a meeting with Ehsan-E-Elahi, secretary, ministry of labour and employment, at the secretariat in Dhaka recently.

They also discussed the overall situation of the RMG industry including workplace safety at the meeting, the association said in a press note.
