Workers and Employees on Average Wage
Unable to Afford the Basic Cost of Living
Assuming a 5% annual increment of the gross salary since 2017,
the average wage in 2022 for workers and employees in all
industries would not be sufficient for affording average monthly
cost of living for 1 household of 4 persons living in an apartment
with 1 bedroom outside city centre and consuming a “regular diet”
in Dhaka
□ Assuming a 5% annual increment of the gross salary since 2017, the average
wage in 2022 for workers and employees involved in most forms of economic
activities would not be sufficient for affording average monthly cost of living
for 1 household of 4 persons living in an apartment with 1 bedroom outside
city centre and consuming a "compromised diet” in Dhaka
☐ Thus, it is clear that a 5% increment hardly makes any difference
to workers and employees, given that most prices are increasing in
double digit growth rates
