Resumen
Descripción
By September 2020, Dhaka and Chittagong
labor markets in Bangladesh showed signs of recovery in
employment. Employment recovered faster in Chittagong,
reaching pre-COVID-19 levels, while Dhaka remained below
pre-COVID-19 employment levels. To track the impacts of the
COVID-19 crisis on labor markets and household coping
strategies, a rapid phone survey was implemented on a
representative sample of households living in poor and slum
areas of Dhaka and Chittagong City Corporations (CCs). This
brief, the third in the series, summarizes results from the
first and second rounds of the rapid phone survey, conducted
from June 10 to July 10, 2020, and from September 2 to
October 11, 2020. Ninety-four percent of respondents
interviewed in the first survey round were reached in the
second round. This brief focuses on how the labor market
situation evolved between the two rounds.
