Fairwork Bangladesh Ratings 2023: Is it Time for a Regulatory Framework?

The third Fairwork Bangladesh report identifies reasonable improvements in platforms’ responsiveness towards workers’ needs and demands since our previous report of 2022. This year, 11 platforms were reviewed and scored. The league table shows an overall improvement in Fairwork scores compared to last year’s.

The report sets the stage for a necessary gear change in Bangladesh: launching a discussion around a policy and regulatory framework for platform workers. The Fairwork Bangladesh team’s engagement with stakeholders has raised awareness among stakeholders about the issues relating to digital labour. This growing awareness recognises that the State must address digital labour as a policy issue.

We hope that this report will help set the agenda of fairer working conditions for the gig workers of Bangladesh and that it will inspire platforms to improve their positions in the next round of scoring taking place in 2022.
