by Naim-Ul-Karim DHAKA, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) Remittance-reliant Bangladesh witnessed a big boom in overseas employment last year amid growing demand of huge work
Over 11.35 lakh Bangladeshis migrated to foreign nations in 2022, the highest ever in the history of the south Asian country. In 2021, the number was only 6.17 lakh, according to data from the Bureau of Manpower Employment and Training (BMET).
Bangladesh sent the highest number of migrant workers in its history in 2022 thanks to a surge in demand for labourers in the Middle Eastern countries but remittance receipts did not go up proportionately.
