The working-age population percentage in Bangladesh has experienced a significant upward trajectory from 1990 to 2022. Starting at 53.6% in 1990, the percentage steadily increased over the years, reaching 68.0% by 2022. This growth can be attributed to various factors, including improved healthcare, rising educational attainment, and economic development that has encouraged greater workforce participation.
The consistent rise in the working-age population reflects demographic shifts, including declining fertility rates and a growing youth population entering the labor force. Notably, the percentage increased from 67.0% in 2019 to 68.0% in 2022, indicating a positive trend in labor market engagement. However, ongoing challenges, such as unemployment and underemployment, remain critical considerations for harnessing this demographic potential effectively.
