Bangladesh is all set to create a digital database of workers from both formal and informal sectors even as under this initiative workers’ information of about 10,000 entities would be incorporated into the database, while labour identification (LID) number would be provided to some 0.3 million workers during the piloting period.
Media reports maintained this citing the concerned officials, according to whom, the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) has undertaken a project in this regard to develop skilled workforce and enhance productivity even if the project – Labour Information Management System (LIMS) – will manage labourers’ information digitally and help develop their skills for workplaces.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media, Labour Secretary Ehsan-e-Elahi, reportedly, underlined they are waiting for approval of the project from the Ministry of Planning.
