‘ILO can help BD build skilled workforce’

Business Desk :
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) could help Bangladesh build a young and skilled workforce, said Chihoko Asada-Miyakawa, regional director for Asia and Pacific for ILO.
The region should prioritise social protection, social dialogue, employment generation, decent work, and ensure basic protection of the workers now, she said on Monday.
She spoke at an event held at the office of the Bangladesh Employers’ Federation (BEF) at Gulshan in Dhaka.
Bangladesh has been actively working to ensure workers’ safety, social protection and decent work conditions in the last few decades, she said.
The country has also updated its rules and laws to make those sustainable and practical, Asada-Miyakawa also said.
