BANGLADESH
The Bangladesh Jatiya Sangsad (parliament) will pass a new labour code this winter, says a Panos report. The code proposes to reform 44 labour laws by broadly categorising them and removing their inconsistencies.
The changes drafted by the National Labour Law Commission are: waiving of restrictions on employment of women in night shifts; a ban on the industrial employment of children up to the age of 14; and uniform maternity benefits.
