World’s 7th largest workforce

Bangladesh offers one of the most compelling demographic profiles in Asia. With the 8th largest labor force globally, Bangladesh offers scale -- whether as a deep talent pool or a fast-growing consumer base. Half the population is under age 30, including 45.9 million youth aged 15–29. Women are central to Bangladesh’s growth story, now comprising 42.7% of the workforce — the third highest in South Asia, while the gender wage gap stands among the lowest globally at just 2.2%. As incomes rise, consumer wealth is dispersing beyond major urban centers — a trend reinforced by digital adoption and expanding infrastructure. For investors, this translates into decades of workforce reliability, inclusive growth, and domestic market expansion.
