Abstract: This study aims to assess the implementation status of the 2018 RMG minimum wage provisions and propose a revised minimum wage for RMG workers in 2023, grounded in indicators outlined in the Bangladesh Labour Act (BLA). These indicators encompass various factors such as cost of living, production costs, productivity, product pricing, inflation, work nature, risk, business capacity, and socio-economic conditions at both local and national levels. Data was gathered through a primary survey conducted across 76 RMG enterprises and involving 228 RMG workers. Additionally, Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted.
