A STUDY ON HEALTH CONDITION OF BANGLADESH GARMENTS WORKER

Biomedical

With millions of garment workers in the forefront, Bangladesh's garment sector is poised for future growth. Due to their heavy workloads, inadequate personal protective equipment, and poor or nonexistent workplace medical facilities, workers experienced a variety of health issues. Bangladesh's clothing sector has grown quickly in recent years to become one of the greatest textile producers in the world, second only to China, whose economy is nine times larger. Bangladesh's textile workers were paid only one-fourth of what those in China were, which is why foreign investors favored Bangladesh over China. With hasty construction and subpar working conditions, the industry was created. In addition to a general lack of licenses, legislation, and control, the enormous industries were frequently dangerous. Colds and flu, leg pain from musculoskeletal injuries, hot flushes from pseudo-neurological issues, gastrointestinal disorders, and allergies from allergens were the major issues among garment workers. The majority of the workers had decent health. Coughing was associated statistically significantly with age, whereas allergies and gas pain were significantly associated with the employees' gender. Global clothing manufacturers began expressing more interest in the factories (and people) that were producing their products in distant nations as the international community banded together to push for improvements to labor conditions. According to this survey, the majority of the workers had good health, with the most common health problems being allergies, gas pain, and coughing. In order to enhance the employees' condition of health, the authorities and policymakers in the clothing industry do create healthcare facilities and provide primary healthcare services there.
