The importance of international migration in Bangladesh can hardly be overemphasised. Bangladeshis constitute the fifth largest migrant community in the world. Migration has consistently remained a key source of foreign exchange (bringing in more than USD 18 billion in 2019) and job creation (employing more than 8 million or roughly 11 percent of the Bangladeshi workforce). It is certainly key to the steady economic growth of the country.
