rinciples for organizing, planning, designing, and conducting research.

Methodological decisions
are determined by the research paradigm that a researcher is following. The research paradigm
not only guides the selection of data gathering and analysis methods but also the choice of
competing methods of theorizing (Sayer 1992). This study is based on both primary and
secondary data that are collected from various sources. Primary data have been collected from
the 500 female garment workers of the slum areas of Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) of
Bangladesh by random sampling technique through open-ended questionnaire. The open-ended
response questions are most beneficial when a researcher conducts exploratory research,
especially if the range of respondents is not known. The open-ended questions can be used to
learn what words and phrases people spontaneously give to the free-response questions. The
secondary data are collected from the websites, books and e-books, previous published articles,
theses, conference papers, case studies, magazines, and various research reports. Here we have
tried to discuss in brief, and clarify how evidence in this study was collected and analyzed, as
well as to introduce the research strategy and the empirical techniques applied in this research.
The research strategy adopted was face-to-face interview of the garments workers. The
mathematical and theoretical data are collected and developed to make this empirical research
fruitful. The purpose of this
