Bangladesh has made significant progress in bridging gaps between low and high-opportunity groups, particularly in the education sector, said Abdoulaye Seck, World Bank country director for Bangladesh and Bhutan. “However, much remains to be done,” he said at a conference on Tuesday, adding, “South Asian countries must continue to reduce socio-economic disparities as they lead to differences in access to jobs, earnings, consumption and welfare and impact overall growth.” The two-day conference, termed Expanding Opportunities: Toward Inclusive Growth, opened on Tuesday. It has been organised by the Brac Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) and the World Bank.
