- comments:
- Based on the feasibility study conducted by the ILO, for starting a social insurance scheme in Bangladesh, there needs to a relatively structured formal sector for the scheme to be financially sustainable. Moreover, due to large scale industrial accidents in the RMG sector, which is a part of global supply chain, there was pressure from international partners on the country to start the scheme in this sector. RMg sector is considered as a pilot, with the success of the scheme, EII can cover more formal sectors.
- action_plan:
- During a Trial of an EII in the RMg sector data may also be collected on other sectors and plans made for extension of the system

- title:
- 9. The proposed scheme appears to have been prepared in consideration of RMG sector, as reflected in the document ‘Cost Estimate of the Proposed Injury Compensation Scheme in Bangladesh’. The view was articulated by the employers’ association representatives during the evaluation. The scheme needs to take into account and reflect the context of all the sectors where scheme could be implemented, model and strategies need to be adaptable to them all. Specific schemes which would imply the more hazardous sectors would likely never be covered if cost sharing is not spread over all sectors.
