The proposed national budget for fiscal 2020-21 has not addressed the issues of people who remain unemployed after losing their jobs and incomes at home and abroad during the ongoing pandemic, according to the Bangladesh Institute of Labour Studies (BILS).
Besides, the budget's corresponding social safety net measures and allocations are inadequate, it said.
Every sector witnessed job losses due to the Covid-19 fallout and the budget should have kept a separate fund for such people, BILS officials said yesterday.
There were 40 lakh domestic workers in Bangladesh prior to the pandemic and some 90 per cent of them lost their jobs in the aftermath, said Naimul Ahsan Jewel, a member of the advisory council of the BILS.
