The characteristics of the structural transformation process in Bangladesh bring out the relevance of a comprehensive and inclusive South Asian ?brand? in view of the challenges of large population size, high burden of poverty, rising inequalities and its compulsion to achieve rapid and sustained inclusive development. The analysis highlights several distinct characteristics of Bangladesh?s structural transformation including changes in value added, trade, employment, productivity, formal-informal jobs, and opportunities for low-skilled workers. The book suggests that the manufacturing sector could not create the required number of jobs and generate rapid absolute and relative productivity gains in the Bangladesh economy. Although the services sector has largely led output and employment growth, servicessubsectors with strong labour absorptive capacity have low average productivity. Hence, growth-enhancing structural transformation led by these subsectors is likely to be less dynamic than required for rapid employment-creating growth in the economy. The book?s analysis on COVID-19 and cyclone Amphan shows that an integrated disaster and development paradigm is needed for Bangladesh. An inclusive and health and well-being focused structural transformation presents the pathway to advance the people-centred approach to development in Bangladesh through both vulnerability reduction and investments in sustainable development that would offset both known and unknown disaster threats. The key for Bangladesh is to skillfully manage the ?developer?s dilemma? of achieving both structural transformation in terms of large productivity gains and inclusive growth for reducing poverty and rising inequalities. This book is relevant to students, academicians and development practitioners and others interested in contemporary development. 410 0$aSouth Asia Economic and Policy Studies,$x2522-5510 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aAsian Economics 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aEconomy-wide Country Studies 606 $aGovernance and Government 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aAsia$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aAsian Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aEconomy-wide Country Studies. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a338.95492 700 $aMujeri$b Mustafa K.$0847306 702 $aMujeri$b Neaz 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483212503321 996 $aStructural transformation of Bangladesh economy$91892634 997 $aUNINA
