Abstract: Bangladesh scored very poorly in the GCPI, with its overall score of 0.96 out of 10 placing it in the “Weak” band due to its extremely limited legal framework to protect both careworkers and unpaid caregivers. Bangladesh’s care policy architecture is primarily contained within a single piece of legislation – the Labor Act 2013. Domestic work is considered informal employment in Bangladesh, and as such, is not covered by labor laws. Social security benefits and minimal protections against forced labor and child labor are among the few rights provided to domestic workers.
