The Role of United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in Addressing Child Labor in Fast Fashion Industry in Bangladesh 2013-2016
Abstract
As a poor country, Bangladesh is one of the countries that have many child
laborers in various sectors. In Bangladesh, 67 percent of children work because
their families are suffering economically and require children to work to help
support their families. Bangladesh is a country that produces industrial garments
such as fast fashion. Child labor in the garment industry is a serious problem
caused by several things, such as production factories that are dangerous for
children. The number of work accidents and violence that occurs in child workers
is an issue that needs to be discussed. UNICEF as an international organization
that focuses on helping children has an important role in addressing the issue of
child labor in Bangladesh. This research was conducted to analyze the role of
UNICEF in tackling child labor in Bangladesh from 2013 to 2016 by using the
concept of implementing international organizations. By using a managerial
approach, the researcher can see how UNICEF implements programs created by
monitoring and collaborating with the Bangladesh government to reduce the
number of child workers in Bangladesh, especially in the garment industry.
