About 24.5 million vulnerable non-poor people, who account for 14.7 per cent the population, as a 2021 study that the Power and Participation Research Centre and the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development conducted says, slipped into poverty because of the Covid fallout. The International Labour Organisation in January projected that the number of unemployed people in Bangladesh would reach about 3.4 million in 2022. All this suggests inadequacy on part of the government and warrants early action.
