An analytical conductive study to RMG (Ready-Made Garment) sector workers health state, its economic resilience status, and the contamination footing scenario in Bangladesh

The industry that has been making a censorious contribution to rebuilding the country and its economic system is none aside from the ready-made garment RMG sector, which is now the single biggest export that has advanced for Bangladesh. It is contemplated that every three of European has a t-shirt made in Bangladesh & every fifth American wear clothes manufactured in Bangladesh. The sector accounts for 83% of overall export. Approximately 4.4 million workers work here for their livelihood, where- two-third portion is women. Even after contributing so much, if we look at the wages of workers and their standard of living, it is seen that most of them live in slums, in general, their income is deficient, and at the same time, they face many health concerns like workers usually work with no ventilation, breathing in toxic, substance, inhaling fiber dust, accidents, fires, injuries, disease, etc. Apart from those, women workers face verbal and physical abuse. Some studies reveal that's home-based workers in the garment sector and chemical hazards are 9.4times more likely to experience health problems than workers to dusk and chemical hazards. Another concerning issue is the overuse of groundwater; as stated by a survey of International Finance Corporations, 1500 billion liter groundwater is used to dye & wash the clothes for the garment sectors every year. It is comparable to filling up 600,000 Olympic swimming pools, or also we can consider the same water on meet the demand of 8 lakh people for a whole year. Without the RMG sector, the condition of Bangladesh is unthinkable. We cannot eliminate the fact that contamination is disrupting people's livelihood, yet we can take some steps or inspire to solve the problem. This paper will discuss how garment sectors contribute to the economy, workers' wages, health issues, livelihood, how contamination is spreading from this sector, and whether there are any conventional roles
