Abstract

This paper assesses the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on garment workers in factories in Gazipur and North Dhaka, Bangladesh, using a sample of 1,587 individuals working in the sector at the start of the pandemic and another 381 individuals who previously worked in the sector. Using telephone surveys, we assess key outcomes in employment, health, income, and consumption. The survey will be repeated annually for a period of at least one year to trace the longer-term impacts of the pandemic on workers from the sector.
