A Pragmatic Analysis of Labor Standards in Compliance with ILO and Islam: Bangladesh Perspective ()
ABSTRACT
In this era of industrialization, laborers are said to be the key factor
of industrial development of any country as the national economic stability
directly or indirectly depends upon the standards of labor practice. The
credence of labor rights bears staple importance where the International Labor
Organization (ILO) acknowledges manifold rights and principles as the core
international labor standards. Bangladesh, a Muslim majority country has
promulgated the Bangladesh Labor Act in 2006 to accomplish its national
obligation as a member of ILO. To this context, this research is an attempt to
investigate the extent of compliance of Bangladesh labor laws and practices
with the labor standards of ILO and Islamic principles of labor rights. This
paper additionally tries to highlight the root causes of poor implementation
mechanism and defects of labor law in Bangladesh. Finally certain
recommendations are suggested for the fruitful and efficient implementation of
labor standards to ensure rights and social justice to workers of every corner
of the country and safeguard the national economy from innumerable loss.
