This report aims to describe the lives of garment workers in Bangladesh by collecting data on their economic condition. A team of researchers visited 186 garment workers each week for one year. The researchers collected data on how much the workers earned and spent each week, as well as how many hours they worked and the conditions in their factories. They collected other data too, such as information on food security, financial literacy, and workplace safety. Collectively, these data show that garment workers face long hours, questionable pay practices, low wages, financial stress, and mediocre working conditions.
