Labourers in the Bookbinding Industry in Bangladesh: Their Lives and Struggle

Researcher : Moni Haider

About 10,000 workers, child, young and old are engaged in binding books in Bangladesh. They are the background workers of the printing industry, mostly low-paid. Nothing has so far been written or no study has been undertaken highlighting the lives and profession of these workers. The preseant study aimed to (i) identify the socio-economic conditions of the bookbinding workers; (ii) evaluate their economic conditions; and (iii) formulate a plan for alleviating their poverty and to establish them as an organised force.
