Abstract: This country report is the result of the analysis on the Informal Sector Survey that was funded by the regional technical assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Measuring the Informal Sector. The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, one of the three partner statistical agencies of the regional technical assistance, worked closely with ADB in adapting the mixed survey approach to collect informal sector and informal employment data, in analyzing the survey results, and in writing this report. It presents an in-depth analysis of informal employment, which comprises about 89% of all jobs in Bangladesh. It also discusses the method for estimating the contribution of the informal sector to the gross domestic product, the resulting estimates, labor productivity, and the characteristics of informal sector production units.
