 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We all know that recent covid pandemic destroyed us in many ways. From our personal to
professional life nothing is untouched by covid. The subject of our report is, “Causes of
profession migration due to covid pandemic in Bangladesh” which is mostly prepared from
secondary sources & some primary sources. Effected by covid many people had to change their
professions that they never thought of. A teacher became fruit seller, people doing corporate
jobs started online businesses as they got fired from the offices, many small business owners
had to shut down the business & switch to another something to earn etc. life was miserable
for so many people while it worked even better for some. Our objective was to know for which
reasons this profession migration happened and we tried to find this out in this report.

1. Introduction
Profession Migration is migrating from a current job to a new job due to some factors or
reasons. Profession migration can happen willingly or forcefully. Nowadays, it has become a
more known factor than in earlier decades as a large number of people enter the job market
every day.

Profession Migration includes higher wages, better employment opportunities, a higher

standard of living, and educational opportunities. If current economic conditions are not
favorable and appear to be at risk of declining further, a greater number of individuals will
probably migrate to a new occupation with a better outlook.

Unfortunately, due to the deadly pandemic period of Covid-19, we have noticed a huge number
of people migrating profession. People have migrated to new jobs either willingly or forcefully.
It's harsh but true that due to Covid-19 professional migration was seen in a large number.

1.1 Methodology

It is very much relevant that a partial job is done by following proper methods. As we tried to
make a rational report, we have followed the proper method to perform our job. Every study is
done on the basis of mostly secondary & primary data. Some specific steps have been taken by
us to prepare this report. At first, we have planned about the overall study, and then collected
data. Then, the procedure was discussed. Finally, some basic information related to the
assigned topic were collected from different books of Principles of Marketing, reports, articles
and websites.

1.2 Objectives of the study

The report’s main goal is to learn about-

- How covid pandemic effected people’s professional life

- How they caused them to change or migrate their profession
- In what type of profession, they migrated into
1
2. Impact of COVID Pandemic in Bangladesh
On March 8, 2020, three cases of pandemic COVID-19 were confirmed by the Institute of
Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) for the first time in Bangladesh. Till
August 11, 2020, a total of 263,503 COVID-19 patients were officially reported with 3,471
deaths in Bangladesh. COVID-19 patients were found in all 64 districts of the country.

In Bangladesh, young professionals, and working people have so far been mostly infected with
COVID-19. Specifically, IEDCR reported that 68% of COVID-19 positive cases were
observed in people aged between 21 to 50 years.

Not only getting infected by covid many people also passed through a devastating time as the
situation effected their jobs or to say their professional life alongside their personal life.

Some impacts are-

2.1 Impact on economy of the country

The outbreak of COVID-19 poses a serious threat to the growing economy of the country in
various ways. Due to sudden disruption in textile and garments manufacturing industries, trades
and business of deferent sectors, tourism, supply and marketing channels of the agricultural
produces, agricultural production, and unemployment of a huge number of people, the
economy of the country was under a serious threat. The government has already declared some
stimulus packages for the industrial sector to provide financial support and to boost up the
threatened economy.

2.2 Impact on agricultural sector

Bangladesh is an agrarian country. Although agriculture contributes 14% to the GDP, nearly
70% of the population directly or indirectly depends on agriculture. The COVID-19 interrupted
badly the supply chain and marketing of perishable vegetables, fruits, poultry and dairy
products. As a result, both producers and consumers are affected.

2.3 Impact on people’s mental health

The COVID-19 pandemic had aggravated psychological burdens across cohorts throughout the
entire country, and was also contributing to the rise in suicide incidence. For suppressing
suicidality, early detection of mental health disorders is beneficial. Therefore, a study was
carried out among a large cohort in Bangladesh to facilitate policy level data, where a high
prevalence rate of both depression and suicidal ideation was found. These significant
2
psychiatric issues were more likely to be present among younger people, particularly women,
and lack of knowledge of COVID-19 along with increased use of social media and insomnia
were also independent risk factors. Furthermore, the study identified a clustering of depression
and suicidal ideation in the capital metropolitan region and coastal districts where the number
of COVID-19 cases being reported was particularly high. These findings suggest the presence
of a discrete number of risk factors that contribute to the propensity for depression and suicidal
ideation.

2.4 Disruptions in Learning

The participants were found experiencing several learning disruptions. They responded that
they did not feel any motivation to study at home as there was no need to follow any scheduled
routine for study and going to the university. So, they spent ample time in doing some of their
favorite works like farming, painting, gardening, handicrafts. They were also engaged in
various non-academic activities: cooking, watching movies, TV, videos on YouTube, reading
stories or holy books, doing social work or religious activities, spending time on social sites of
Facebook, Instagram, etc. Some students having academics books as well as the home
environment to study, they mentioned the decline in their study time, and the study time was
daily for about one hour or less than that. They added that educational institution closure due
to the pandemic interrupted their routine of study.

2.5 Loss of Social Interaction

Before the pandemic people used to meet every day. But during pandemic, they were isolated
in their home. and due to the circumstance, they had not seen their friends and relatives for a
long time. They were unable to contact them regularly, which interrupted the communication
with each other. Though sometimes they talked over the phone or social sites, all of them
admitted that lack of physical appearance made the conversations uninteresting. They also
missed the previous interactions with relatives for any purposes or any other relevant matter. It
was found that less social interactions with others disrupted their motivation to connecting with
peoples.

2.6 People facing downs in professional life

Due to covid, many jobs or professions were beyond their minimal reach. As a result,
professional life was hampered. Even many had to switch their profession or being in the state
of unemployment which means no income for uncertain time.
3
3. Causes of profession migration
According to a study by Bangladesh Economic Association, 3.6 million people lost their jobs
during the corona period. A study by Bangladesh Institute of Development Research says that
13 % of people who work in various offices in the formal sector have lost their jobs due to
Corona. Similarly, the salary of 25 percent of the employees has decreased. They are getting
less monthly salary than before. 62 percent of people have lost their jobs in the last 1 year due
to the corona epidemic. We will now see what were the reasons behind many people’s
profession migration due to covid pandemic on which the report is based.

3.1 Closing of educational institutions

Teachers:

To restrict the fast spreading of covid, Bangladesh government, like many other countries
declared lockdown for which all the educational institutions like school, colleges, coaching
centers, universities were closed for a long period of time. There are so many schools, colleges
and coaching centers in our country that runs majorly by the fees of its students and while in
lockdown lack of the payments it was impossible for many to run their livelihood when their
savings started to come to an end. So, they had to switch or migrate their profession even if it
is temporary. Few joined online platforms and started teaching online through videos and
courses, some joined company which are running through that period even for a low wage.
Others joined in different jobs. One teacher from a primary school was reported to start selling
fruits for earning his livelihood.

Staffs:

The office staffs of these institutions were no longer required as the institutions were closed
and many of them faced wage cut off… so they even had to search for new jobs and switch.

3.2 Transport drivers being jobless due to lockdown

As lockdown was declared, no buses, cngs, autos or rickshaws were permitted on the road even
when the lockdown was loosened limited transports were permitted. In this situation, the bus
drivers and other staffs, rickshaw pullers were run out of work. So, they had to switch to
whatever work came in front of them.

4
3.3 Cancellation of International Flight

Due to the situation worldwide, all the domestic and international flights were cancelled for
the time being and later airlines started limited flights. By this time, pilots, flight crews were
partially unemployed and many of them temporarily started new jobs that would pay them off.

3.4 Prohibition of social gatherings and events

As public events were not permissible, community center owners, event planners faced
difficulties running their businesses. For example, Dream Waver, Reminiscences etc. are well
known event planners & photographers but some not having strong enough base or popularity,
actually had to sell the place they own, find some alternative to their work. For this, the florists,
caterers and other businesses related to this sector also faced losses & had to switch their work.
Many local artists who used to earn through performing in events had to switch their jobs.
Some even were reported to selling vegetables to earn living.

3.5 Closing down businesses

Many shop owners and small business owners had to face severe loss due to lockdown and
loosing demand for changing situations. In this situation, they had to do close or sell their
business to avoid losses they faced. Or some of the businesses switched to online social media
marketing to sell their products to customers and some started selling necessary stuffs which
were in demand like masks, sanitizers etc. Many of these closures may be permanent because
of the inability of owners to pay ongoing expenses and survive the shutdown.

3.6 Cutting off jobs in the garment industry

About 70,000 workers have been terminated from garment factories since April as the industry
lost over $3.5 billion in orders, according to the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and
Exporters Association (BGMEA), the main trade body.

Bangladesh’s garment industry is the second largest after China’s and its largest industrial
employer with about 4 million workers, the majority of them poor rural women. The industry
is a lifeline for this South Asian nation as it accounts for about 80 percent of annual foreign
exchange. Job cuts have started hitting workers since March after the government announced
a nationwide shutdown to contain the coronavirus outbreak. After remaining shut for nearly
two months, hundreds of factories in industrial zones started reopening from April 26. Trade
5
unionists say the real scenario regarding lay-offs and job cuts during the pandemic is far worse
than reported.

“In our estimate about 150,000 workers have lost jobs already and termination continues every
day. Moreover, senior workers who toiled in the industry for many years have seen their
salaries cut significantly,” Babul Akhter, president of the Bangladesh Garment and Industrial
Workers Federation, told UCA News.

He regretted that workers have been dismissed without compensation despite owners having a
stimulus package. He says it has thrown them into destitution and they have not been rehired
even though the industry has bounced back.

“Without job security, workers suffer and in the long run it won’t do any good for the industry,”
he added. BGMEA leaders say job cuts had been carried out in special circumstances for the
survival of the industry.

“It is true factories have terminated workers because of loss of production and business. Many
factories are still counting losses, making it impossible for them to keep a regular workforce.
Once the factories get regular orders and have good business, workers will be rehired and
former workers will get preference,” Mohiuddin Rubel, a director of BGMEA, told UCA News.
Besides government aid packages, various NGOs and charities have been supporting jobless
workers. James Gomes, director (programs) at Caritas Bangladesh, said there is no specific
project for jobless people but they are included in ongoing Covid-19 aid schemes.

“In 10 urban areas, we are providing support to 22,000 needy and poor families and they
include garment workers who lost jobs during the outbreak. It is true jobless workers are facing
miserable lives and garment factory owners need to pay attention to their plight,” Gomes told
UCA News. A staggering 7,167 bankers lost jobs between April 2020 and September last year
as private commercial banks desperately tried to cut operational costs amid a business
slowdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The employees, who were either fired or
forced to resign, represented nearly 6 per cent of the total workforce of 122,912 in the banking
sector of Bangladesh as of June last year. Fifty-one private banks informed the Bangladesh
Bank that they had sacked 1,292 employees while another 5,875 resigned. They made the
disclosure about the job cuts after the BB instructed them to inform it the number of employees
who left banks during the period.

3.7 Quality controller turns day laborer

Sabuj Biswas, 29, is an ethnic Paharia Catholic from Our Lady of Sorrows Church in
Ghoraghat in Dinajpur district. Until April, he had been employed as a quality controller at a
garment factory in Gazipur district, another industrial hub near Dhaka. Including regular pay
and overtime, Sabuj could earn about 20,000 taka per month. After keeping some for himself,
he used to send money to his family back home. The eldest son and only breadwinner of a
family of six, Sabuj has also returned home after losing his job. He and his 16-year-old brother
have become daily-wagers to support the family.

“Day labor is also scarce in the area. If I can find work, I can earn about 350 taka per day. I
feel sad that my young brother has also been forced to work,” Sabuj told. He is upset that
garment factories summarily dismissed many workers like him in the absence of a permanent
contract.

“Factories run on our labor, but we have been left out during the crisis without any
compensation. All workers need to have permanent contracts so that we can claim
compensation for job cuts,” he said.

Like Sabuj, thousands of workers have lost jobs in Bangladesh’s $30 billion export-oriented
garment industry since Covid-19 hit the local and global economies. The workers are facing
hard times and still struggling to find work.

3.8 Cutting off jobs in the banking sector

The central bank found that private lenders had not followed due diligence properly while
cutting jobs.

"Banks mentioned that the employees had resigned willingly. But the reality is different as
banks had forced them to resign in most of the cases," according to a central bank probe report
seen by The Daily Star. The Daily Star talked to five retrenched employees who claim that
their employers had not given any specific reason for their removal.

One banker faced termination in June 2020, a time when the pandemic was at its peak in
Bangladesh and millions of people were rendered jobless due to the strict lockdown measures.
He said, "I achieved tremendous success during my career. As a result, I was made an executive
vice-president when I was 43. But, the bank did not consider my achievements while
terminating me. I don't know why I lost my job. The bank did not mention any reason."

7
Another former banker said his employer told him that it would terminate him if he did not
leave. "There is no scope to enjoy service benefits or manage another job in a bank if I faced
termination. So, I resigned."

The central bank has received at least 328 applications from the retrenched employees. It
carried out probes into a number of banks last year. In many cases, banks created an unpleasant
situation for the employees so that they left on their own, the BB probe reports said. Some
banks even did not issue any explanation or show-cause letter before firing the employees.
Banks had threatened that the employees who would not resign would face lay-off.

Many banks set difficult targets such as mobilizing a higher number of deposits for the
employees during the pandemic when the economy faced a slowdown. The employers sacked
the staff members on the excuse of failing to achieve the targets, the probe reports said. Many
banks claimed that the officials had left as they had better opportunities in other banks or other
sectors, said a BB official.

"But the claim is mostly baseless as the entire job market faced stagnation during the peak of
the pandemic and the recruitment process came to a halt."

Analysts say banks could have avoided the large job cuts as their operating profit bounced back
strongly last year.

The operating profit of 22 banks analyzed by The Daily Star showed that all of the lenders
except one posted higher profit in 2021 compared to a year ago.

3.9 Hygiene factors

Due to covid, people stopped eating roadside food. As a result, those who were used to sell
fried items or spice mixed fruits and other items had to switch to other jobs. Closing their tiny
shops many of them became hawkers and sell items like gloves, masks etc.

3.9.1 Lack of work for laborers

Due to covid situations many laborers ran out of work which led them to migrate profession.
Bazlur Rahman (47) had been working as a painter (painter of buildings) in Narayanganj city
for about 20 years. Daily and contract work. With that income, he was spending his days with
his wife and two sons. However, with the outbreak of the coronavirus, the city life has come
to a standstill, and the work of Bajlur has also come to a standstill. Stomach does not fill if
8
you sit at home. So, he came down to the city with Bombay pepper in a bamboo basket.
Rangmistri Bajlur is now a chilli vendor in Narayanganj town.

3.9.2 Downfall of tourism

For corona outbreak, people were restricted for any type of social gatherings which puts comma
to travelling and visiting tourist spots. Tourism industry sort of collapsed due to this reason.
Tour guides, tour agencies, hotel, motels faced severe loss. Many of them had to shut down
their businesses, and then move to any other profession which would pay them off.

According to daily “Jugantor” (September 6, 2021) - “The tourism sector of the country is in a
deep crisis due to the corona epidemic. Many tour and travel companies have been closed.
About 40 lakh manpower related to this sector due to uncertainty. More than 400,000 of them
lost their jobs. Many are not getting salary month after month. Many of those who have
worked to advance this growing sector over the years have changed careers. Someone is
counting the days again. In one year, the gross domestic product (GDP) has lost about 26,500
crore rupees.”

4. The present scenario

One of the biggest economic crises since the Great Depression has been brought on by the
COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis threatens to deepen poverty and worsen inequities, with
repercussions that will be felt for years to come. Now is the time for countries to do all in their
power to prevent this employment crisis from becoming a social disaster. The future and the
next generation need investment in building a stronger and more stable employment market.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, its wreaked havoc on employment markets
throughout the country along with the world. The short-term implications were dramatic and
frequently severe: Millions of workers were furloughed or lost employment, while others
quickly adjusted to working from home as offices shuttered. Many others, however, were
judged essential and allowed to continue working at hospitals, supermarkets, on trash trucks,
and in warehouses, but with new measures in place to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, its wreaked havoc on employment markets
throughout the world. The short-term implications were dramatic and frequently severe:
Millions of workers were forced to work low-paying essential works or lost employment, while
others quickly adjusted to working from home as offices were closed. Many others, however,
9
were judged essential and allowed to continue working at hospitals, supermarkets, on trash
trucks, and in warehouses, but with new measures in place to limit the spread of the novel
coronavirus.

The enormous rise in telecommuting is perhaps the most noticeable effect of COVID-19 on the
workforce. After having success with remote employees during the pandemic, several
businesses are intending to switch to more flexible workplaces, which will lower the amount
of space they require and result in fewer people coming into the office each day.

During the pandemic, many people learned to appreciate the benefits of internet shopping and
other activities. Two to five times as much business was conducted online in 2020 than in the
years before COVID-19. A lot of people who lost their businesses started their businesses
through online and social media platforms. As it turned out, people became habituated to this
online buying and selling process. Thus, a lot of businesses are still sticking with their online
business instead of converting to traditional physical stores for operating business.

Many people who lost their job started agricultural production during the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the rate of COVID-19 cases dropped, a lot of those people realized it is a more profitable
and stable way of income for them instead of their traditional employment. Thus, a lot of them
stayed in the agricultural sector in the current days. Migrant workers who came back to
Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic mostly went back after the normalization of the
current situation. Some of them started their own small business in the country and those who
were able to turn in a good profit stayed in the country instead of going back to foreign
countries.

5. Recommendation
After completing this report, we are in position to recommend that-

• While choosing profession, people should think smart about it. Which sector can serve
them well during crisis it should be taken into account and they also should have some
backup plans.
• A person should always contain some savings which will help him at crucial times.
• Switching profession can be very profitable, if the calculations are right.

10
6. Conclusion
Passing dark days, businesses and people are bouncing back to work again. They are trying
heart & soul to boost up the economy. As for the profession migration, some people faced
pathetic days and some actually made profits out of the situation. Switching to online
businesses rather than staying unemployed helped a lot of people.
